Through the activity, students explored how machine guns changed combat, why mustard gas was introduced, and the many challenges soldiers faced while living and fighting in the trenches.

On Tuesday, November 18, three of our 8th grade band standouts — Cooper Saddison, Jude Skinner, and Grant Livengood — proudly represented Brandywine at the Western Michigan University Mid-Fest Middle School Honors Band in Kalamazoo.
In just six hours, they prepared four challenging pieces and performed them that same day. Even more impressive, they worked under the direction of world-renowned composer and music educator William Owens, who is widely regarded as one of the top voices in middle school music education.
We’re incredibly proud of these young musicians and the dedication they bring to their craft. 🎼🐾

In US History class, 8th grade students dipped their toes into the three branches of government - Legislative, Executive, and Judicial.
As legislators, they proposed bills, gained support, took their bills to the legislative floor for to be approved, and then sent the bill on to the Executive Branch for the President to sign it into law. They also took on the role of the Judicial Branch to judge if the law was constitutional. It turns out, passing a law is not as easy as one might think!
