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.
Always ready to spring into action—no assembly required.
This week is National Assistant Principals week and we're celebrating Mr. Strohecker (HS Assistant Principal) and Mrs. Ward (IS/MS Assistant Principal. We're greatful for all the behind-the-scenes support, quick thinking, and endless dedication they bring to Brandywine Heights Area School District every single 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.
