Brandywine Heights High School -

🍔 Today was Local PA Beef Day at our High School! Students enjoyed sampling delicious Smashburgers while our Agriculture class learned about sourcing beef from Pennsylvania farms. 🐄 Through our partnership with the PA Beef to PA Schools program, we’re connecting our school with local cattle producers to 'beef' up lunches, offering more locally sourced beef more often. This initiative supports local farms, fights food insecurity, and brings the PA Beef industry closer to our community. 🌾❤️ A big thank you to everyone who made this day a success!

Addison Benner, a senior, performed two solo songs at the Thanksgiving Luncheon. This is Addison’s third straight year performing at this event, and we will miss her talents next year after she graduates!

Finally, sister duo Ellis and Greta Kline performed two songs to wrap up the Thanksgiving Luncheon. They did a wonderful job covering songs by Brandi Carlile and Adele! Greta is a senior, and Ellis is a junior.

Thank you, Austin, for your incredible work restoring a school pavilion at the IS/MS building as part of your Eagle Scout project! Your dedication to our school and community is truly inspiring. Here's what Austin had to say about the project: "Hello, my name is Austin Lawhorne and I was asked by Mr. Potteiger to fix a pavilion on the school grounds that had been damaged by a fallen tree. I accepted, without hesitation, as I was looking for an Eagle Scout project at the time. I cut down the tree, fixed the roof, and cleaned up the area. I am so glad that I was asked to do this project, as this school means a lot to me and being asked by the Superintendent to do a project for the school and the community, means a lot."--Austin

PennDOT’s Paint the Plow program is back, and our Art Club students brought their creativity to life! 🎨❄️ This year’s theme, 'Use Your Reason When It’s Freezin’,’ encouraged students to design artwork promoting safe winter driving. Our plow, now officially picked up by PennDOT, will help spread this important message while clearing roadways this winter. We’re so proud of our students for representing our school and showcasing their talent in such a meaningful way. Great job, Art Club! 👏✨

Life skills students visited Kiem Orchards to learn about types of jobs and skills needed to work at a fruit orchard. They learned about planting, harvesting, packing, cleaning, and even got to pick some apples of their own!

Students had the opportunity to tour the Wells-Rapp Center for Mallet Percussion Research at Kutztown University. They viewed rare and historically significant instruments, many of which have been played by world-famous artists. Thank you to KU for having us and to Mrs. Hardy for organizing this cool experience!

Happy #WorldKindnessDay! A little kindness goes a long way in brightening someone's day, whether it's a warm smile, a friendly hello, or lending a helping hand.
