Superbowl Champion, Cliff Crosby, stopped by the IS/MS to share his inspiring message of the power of resilience, faith, and hard work. His journey was more than just about football—it was about overcoming obstacles, making the right choices, and believing in yourself even when the odds are stacked against you. Students and staff walked away feeling motivated and empowered after hearing about his experience growing up in an incredibly challenging family environment, as he faced difficult choices that could have easily led him down the wrong path. But through determination, faith, and an unwavering commitment to his dreams, he defied the odds, reached the pinnacle of professional sports, and has since dedicated his life to inspiring others. Thank you Caron Foundation and Brandywine Heights PTC for bringing this amazing speaker to our district.
Tonight, we proudly recognized Mrs. Kayhart for her unwavering dedication to our students at the BCIU Annie Sullivan Award Ceremony. Her impact extends far beyond the classroom—she fosters a welcoming environment where every student feels supported, valued, and empowered to succeed. Congratulations, Mrs. Kayhart! Your passion and commitment make a lasting difference in our district.

The Middle School K’Nex club recently traveled to the Berks County Intermediate Unit to participate in the 2025 STEM Design Challenge.
Students were tasked to focus on Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (UN Sustainable Development Goal 9) by designing a prototype that addresses a real-world problem related to infrastructure, transportation, or urban development. The goal is to inspire students to think about how cities, roads, bridges, and systems can be built or improved to be more efficient, sustainable, and accessible.
Overall, the students did a great job!
