The Middle School Brandywine Broadcasting Network (BBN) had an amazing visit to the WFMZ/Channel 69 News studio in Allentown. The students were able to be on set for the live 12:00 news broadcast, learn about a plethora of career opportunities from studio members Asimo Long, Jaciel Córdoba, and Kathy Craine, and witness first-hand, what magic lies both behind and in front of the cameras to, ultimately, yield what we see on the TV screen(e.g., studio sets /equipment, master control room, green screen, etc.). This unique opportunity for the cast members of BBN resulted in so much learning about broadcast journalism and hopefully inspired a future career in news or weather reporting.

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.
