Congratulations to wrestler Jon Gonzalez-Torres for finishing 3rd at Olivet this weekend!

Lauren Smyth from St. Margaret’s House recently visited our school to accept a $600 donation from our middle school elective class, Creative Cats.

Creative Cats teaches students foundational entrepreneurial skills as they develop and carry out a business plan. Throughout the semester, students design craft projects, create handmade items, and sell their products, all with the goal of raising money to donate to an organization they choose together.

This semester, students selected St. Margaret’s House, an organization that provides essential services to women in the South Bend area. Way to go, Cats!

The National Honor Society/Merritt Christmas Party is a special tradition at Brandywine and kids big and small have so much fun! Here are some more moments from the day.

Who says Algebra can’t be a hit? 🎤📈

Mr. Nelson’s classes just wrapped up a fun creative math project! Students were challenged to write original songs using 5 different algebraic terms and design a custom album cover to match.

Seeing the intersection of creativity and logic was incredible. These students didn't just learn the definitions—they turned them into art.
