Students in Ms. Carew's middle school Humanities class learned to play the card game "Golf" last week!
The Golf card game is a popular, easy-to-learn game where the goal is to get the lowest score possible, much like real golf. Played over nine "holes" (rounds) with a standard deck of cards, players strategically swap and discard cards to achieve the lowest sum in their layout.

Yesterday the middle school and high school choirs visited the elementary to give students a sneak peek into joining the program when they reach the MSHS!

MSHS students had a chance today to let their voices be heard!
There was a forum for students this afternoon with the Superintendent search firm where students were asked what qualities they want to see in Brandywine Community Schools' next leader. Their insights will help narrow down the position profile! Community members may also join in on the conversation at 5 p.m. tonight, before the Special Board Meeting at the Brandywine Middle/Senior High School Media Center.

Last week, the middle school Humanities class had a fun end to their unit on architecture!
Student teams were challenged to build the tallest “skyscraper” out of carefully stacked boxes and the strongest house of cards. Two teams tied with towers scaling 7 feet tall and one team now holds the all time record of a house of cards that could hold 11 Chromebooks on top.
