🛠️ “If you build it…”
Well, we are — and it’s looking good.
From fresh blacktop to towering lights and a scoreboard that’s ready for the spotlight, our stadium project is laying the groundwork for something legendary.
Miss McLean’s class had a deliciously educational day! 🥯🎨
They started their adventure with a behind-the-scenes tour of NY Bagelry, where they learned how bagels are made and explored the various career opportunities in the food industry. Afterward, the class visited the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts to check out the BCIU Art Show, where they admired incredible artwork created by talented high school students from across Berks County.

💥 NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES...
Some wear lanyards, rock spreadsheets, wrangle calendars, and somehow answer three phones while returning an email.
They're fast. They're focused. They're the behind-the-scenes warriors who keep the entire District running smoother than a brand-new copier.
🔥 Strength: Knowing the answer before you finish the question
⚡ Weakness: Empty pot of coffee
💪 Special Move: Turning chaos into calm
🎉 Happy Administrative Professionals Day!
You might not wear a cape, but trust us—we see your superpowers.
Happy Earth Day from Brandywine Heights Area School District! 🌱
Did you know? Just one mature tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide a year and provide oxygen for two people! 🌳
Let’s keep growing, learning, and protecting the place we all call home—pick up a piece of trash, plant something green, or just take a moment to enjoy the sunshine ☀️
Our next Senior Spotlight is Devra Longacre. After graduation, Devra plans to further her education by attending an accredited, out-of-state dental hygiene program. Her favorite memory from BHASD was traveling out west on the National Parks Trip during the springtime of her junior year. Congratulations, Devra!

📢The news is out! Thanks to Friends of Brandywine, kids won’t go hungry this summer. This is what community looks like—showing up, stepping in, and feeding futures. Watch the story on 69 News: https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/berks/friends-show-up-to-help-berks-school-district-fill-funding-gap-for-summer-meal-program/article_f96fcb51-f8e6-4f72-b063-8ffe4b553968.html

They stopped by Brandywine Heights Area School District to capture something special—we’ll share once it airs!
Ready for action… no assembly required!
This week, in honor of National Assistant Principals Week, we’re celebrating Mrs. Michelle Ward (IS/MS Assistant Principal) and Mr. Rine Strohecker (HS Assistant Principal).
We’re so grateful for everything they do to support our students, staff, and schools—all day, every day.
When grant funding for our summer meal program ran out, Friends of Brandywine didn’t miss a beat.
They raised $40,000 (yes, forty thousand!) to keep the program going for the next two years—making sure our kids stay fed and cared for all summer long.
Their support means bellies that might’ve gone empty this summer will be full instead. 💛
This is what community looks like. When one door closes, our people build another—and hold it open for everyone.
We’re so lucky to be part of a place that shows up for its kids.
Thank you, Friends of Brandywine. We’re beyond grateful.
