Our Freshmen in Mrs. Janke's history class took to the "polls" yesterday to campaign for major historic reforms!

From fighting for consumer safety like the Meat Inspection Act to championing key Constitutional amendments, students designed persuasive "Vote YES!" campaign postcards to convince their peers to back transformative laws.

Each month, our Brandywine Elementary students will focus on one of the Bobcat Traits of the Week and vote who in their class best represents that trait!

The trait they focused on for the month of October during BEST time was Integrity. Integrity is choosing what is right over what is fun or easy. These students were voted as having the most integrity in their class by their peers.

Way to go, Bobcats!

Bond Project Update!

The Merritt gym is finished, and is awaiting some finishing touches before the kids start using it!

The CTE addition has a roof and a concrete floor! Now, the walls will start going up and the heavy block walls around the main front entryway. They will start running all the major hidden guts of the building—like main pipes, electrical wires, and air conditioning/heating ducts—through the ceilings before everything gets closed in.

Our elementary art students have been working on "Day of the Dead" animal projects, with traditional skeletal structures, vibrant colors, and floral elements.

Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is a traditional Mexican holiday celebrated on November 1 and 2 that honors and remembers deceased loved ones. Far from being a sad or scary holiday, it is a joyful, vibrant celebration of life.

Mr. Hannon's Biology class learned about the "Science of Spooky" this morning!

Why do we like to be scared? Why do monsters scare us? Did you know that the fear of clowns is called Coulrophobia? Did you know that there is a genetic disorder called Porphyria that causes symptoms that can be similar to “vampires”?

Most monsters aren't made up entirely, they come from something real!
