🌽💥 Science in Action! 💥🌽
Last week in Gifted, we dove into the world of Ag literacy — and what better way to kick things off than with some delicious popcorn experiments? 🍿💡
Did you know that the moisture level in corn affects how it pops? We put it to the test by popping kernels that were:
🔥 Baked in the oven for an hour
💧 Soaked in water for an hour
🌱 Left as regular kernels
And the best part? We had a few extra 'teachers' on hand for Bring Your Child to Work Day, making our popcorn science lesson even more fun!
🧠💚 SPIRIT WEEK with a PURPOSE! 💚🧠
Starting Monday, we’re turning up the school spirit while turning the spotlight on mental health awareness! Each day is packed with fun themes and powerful messages to help us all pause, reflect, and support one another.
✨ Let’s break the stigma, boost each other up, and show that mental health matters just as much as school pride!
📸 Check out the image below for daily themes and join the movement!

🦇Bat Signal Activated: Learning in Flight
Our 7th grade students got an up-close look at some of the incredible work happening just down the road in Mertztown—thanks to a special visit from the PA Bat Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, the LARGEST facility of its kind on the East Coast!
The center provides vital shelter for injured and vulnerable bats and plays a key role in educating the public about bat conservation. More than just cool critters, these bats are part of a bigger mission: protecting vulnerable species, educating future conservationists, and proving that even the smallest wings can make a big impact.

We had some pretty special guests at our April 7 School Board meeting 💫

💥 We also celebrated our #NewHeights winners:
• Heidi Stufflet, Paraprofessional — praised for her kindness, reliability, and always going the extra mile to help her classroom #ReachNewHeights!
• Kelly Womack, K–3 STEM — known for her sincere heart, creative spirit, and unwavering support for both students and staff. A true rock star in every sense.

🎉 District Wide Spirit Day is THIS Friday, May 2nd!
Wear your BHASD gear, rep your colors, and show that Bullet pride
Be LOUD. Be PROUD. GO BULLETS!💥
In honor of Arbor Day, the 7th grade science students planted 14 new trees along our stretch of Toad Creek! 🌳 The planting is a continuation of the stream improvement plan which began last school year. Rooted in learning, growing a brighter future. ✨
It is the final week of registration for Camp Spark! The QR Code will provide you with the forms needed to sign your child up for this free three week summer learning opportunity. Come join the fun from July 7th through July 24th with three new themes of fun activities, singing, and crafts while strengthening reading and math skills. Your child does not have to attend all three weeks to sign up. Hope to see you at Camp Spark this summer!
🐟 Trout in the Classroom Update!
Our little trout are thriving! These fry are now well into their growing stage—developing strong stripes and swimming with confidence. They'll be ready for their release into the wild by the end of May. 🏞️
Thanks to our students for helping raise the next generation of aquatic life—one splash at a time! 🌊
💥 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.
🛠️ “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.
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 ☀️
