“As we begin another school year, I find myself reflecting on a word that defines us at our very core: community. Each student, staff member, parent, local business, and community partner has contributed to the Brandywine School District's strong reputation and sense of community,” Superintendent Lincoln Hohler said in his welcome back video address to staff.

Throughout the week, new and returning staff members prepared for the upcoming school year in professional development on planning, instruction, technology, and more.

Staff also celebrated their years of service in BSD with their own "First Day of School" photos.
