Bobcat Nation class at the Middle/Senior High School have been sprucing up the bulletin boards around the school! They've created an "I Spy" board and even a "Texting Thanks" board with special messages for students and staff around the school.

Students in Bobcat Nation class are serving up beverages to cure the Monday blues every Monday before school starts! Before heading to class, students can buy a drink from the beverage cart and proceeds will benefit all the fun activities Bobcat Nation plans around the school.

The Brandywine Girls Basketball program will be hosting their annual "Cats for the Cure" game on Friday, January 16. Shirts to support this event can be purchased in the attendance office at Brandywine Middle/Senior High School (door 1), from any high school girl basketball player, or at the front counter of Milano's Pizza in Niles. Shirts are $15 and orders are due by January 2. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Milano's Cancer Fund. Help our girls support a great cause!

The Brandywine Choirs and Bands take the stage this Sunday for their annual Holiday Concert! Elementary and middle school will be performing at 2 p.m. and the high school will be performing at 3:15 p.m. This will all take place at the Brandywine Milddle/ Senior High School gym!

Brandywine High School Band students Benjamin Miracle, Mason Stier, and Melody Livengood, auditioned for and gained acceptance to MSBOA District 6 Honors Band, hosted at Niles High School. They performed their concert with Hope College Guest Director of Bands, Dr. Anand Sukumaran on Saturday, November 22. Well done to the special performers!

Members of B-LEAD, National Honor Society, and Student Council spent the morning volunteering at the Kroc Center in South Bend, handing out 500 Thanksgiving dinners to families in need!

Students in Mrs. Janke’s U.S. History class have been diving into World War I! Last week, they took part in a hands-on trench warfare simulation—complete with (safe!) “projectiles,” “land mines,” and “mustard gas.”

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.

It's the 2025-2026 Meet the Team night for Boys Basketball! This Friday, November 28, come meet the teams and see them go against each other! An alumni game will take place at 6 p.m. Alumni interested in playing, please contact Nate Knapp, Head Coach, at nknapp@brandywinebobcats.org

Last week, High School Counselor, Mrs. Roeder, took 27 juniors and seniors on a campus tour of Lake Michigan College. They learned about all of the course offerings, including technical and vocational options.

Did you know? Tuition is free under the Community College Guarantee in Michigan.

World History students showed off their knowledge of the Mongolian Empire by creating Funko Pop inspired characters last week! Students created their character, showed off some "historical awesomeness" of the Mongols, and included three historically accurate accessories that would have come with their action figure.

Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!

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. 🎼🐾
