October 2025 - Talleyville Fire Company
From visiting our youngest learners at the Brandywine Early Education Program to leading Forwood Elementary’s Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics Delaware, Talleyville’s firefighters consistently go above and beyond to educate, inspire, and give back.
Most recently, members joined Springer Middle School for a 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, completing 110 ascents and descents in tribute to the FDNY heroes who gave their lives, a powerful reminder of courage, unity, and service.
Through their compassion and commitment, the Talleyville Fire Company truly embodies the community spirit that defines
#Proud2bBSD and strengthens the Brandywine School District.

March 2025 - Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids
For over 15 years, Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids' Education Cultivation school garden program with the Brandywine School District has made a remarkable impact at Mount Pleasant Elementary, Forwood Elementary, Lombardy Elementary, Hanby Elementary, Carrcroft Elementary, and Springer Middle School.
Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids provides innovative, hands-on lessons tailored specifically to each grade, offering our students the invaluable opportunity to learn science by actively growing, harvesting, and tasting the very vegetables they've nurtured themselves. This experiential learning model not only deepens their understanding of science but also fosters healthy eating habits and environmental stewardship.
What sets Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids apart is that it is the only program of its kind in Delaware, uniquely engaging every student, across every grade in our participating schools. The alignment of their lessons with grade-specific science curricula enriches our students' educational experiences in meaningful, practical ways.
We sincerely thank Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids for their dedication, innovation, and significant contributions to our district's students and school communities.
