💡 Did you know? On November 4, Brandywine will have a Sinking Fund Renewal on the ballot.
So, what’s the difference between a Sinking Fund and an Operating Millage?
✔️ Sinking Fund – pays for building repairs, safety improvements, technology, and facility upkeep.
✔️ Operating Millage – pays for day-to-day learning costs like staff, supplies, and classroom needs.
This renewal is not a new tax, though due to the Headlee rollback, less than a full mill (.9913) was levied on properties in 2024, so property owners may see a very slight increase. This is a continuation of existing support for our schools. 🐾

Math Bins in Action!
Our math bins are giving our first grade students the chance to explore math in fun and creative ways! Some bins encourage open-ended exploration, where kids build with materials, notice patterns, and share their thinking during math talks. Other bins are designed for skill practice through games—like recognizing numbers within 20 and matching them to a “10 and more” fact (such as 10 + 5). Students also enjoy activities like Spin and Write, where they practice writing numbers while keeping it playful and engaging. #thebrandywinedifference
Math skills + creativity = a win! 🎲🔢
🎶🍎 The Brandywine High School Band marched in the Apple Festival Parade this weekend — and brought home the Harmony Award!
