BRUSSELS CUSD 42

It's November and we're gearing up for our Puzzle fundraiser for Scholastic Bowl! If you're ready to put that last piece in, please RSVP with your group to: amanker@brussels42.net or khartle@brussels42.net We're trying to get an idea of how many puzzles to order for our Puzzle Night on November 20th.

Mrs. Cundiff's class loves to I Spy with this 6ft Search and Discover poster about the America's. They locate different historical figures, symbols, and artifacts. They circle them, mark them located and read about each one in a special book. Great activity for early finishers!

Our kindergarten class had a fa-BOO-lous Halloween party filled with laughter, smiles, and spooktacular fun! 🎃👻

🎃👻 Spooky Walkthrough 2026 – Brussels CUSD #42! 👻🎃 What a SPOOKTACULAR day at Brussels Elementary! 🧡🖤 Our gym was filled with ghosts, goblins, princesses, superheroes, and all kinds of creative characters as our students showed off their Halloween costumes for families, friends, and community members! We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this special event possible! 🎃 Our amazing PTO for their hard work, creativity, and dedication in transforming our gym into a Halloween wonderland! 👻 Our wonderful teachers and staff for going above and beyond to make this a fun and memorable experience for our students! 🧡 Our families and community members for coming out, cheering on our students, and supporting the special things happening at Brussels! Events like these remind us just how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring, supportive school community. It's about more than costumes and candy—it's about making memories, building connections, and celebrating our students! Thank you for helping us make today a little more magical! We couldn't do it without our Brussels family! 💙🤍 Together We Rise! P.S. More photos to come.

💙🤍 At Brussels, We Are Here to Serve! 🤍💙 Sometimes the best lessons happen outside the classroom! This morning, as I was arriving at school, one of our neighbors across the parking lot approached me needing a little help. Her car battery was dead, and she was hoping someone could lend a hand. One quick call to Mr. Baalman's Early Bird PE class, and he had a group of young gentlemen on their way to save the day! 💪🚗 A special shout-out to Theo Pohlman, Jed Struse, and Aiden Plummer for stepping up and lending a helping hand! What a wonderful reminder that being part of the Brussels family means more than academics and athletics. It's about kindness, character, community, and stepping up when someone needs help. I'm so proud of these young men for answering the call without hesitation and showing what it truly means to be a Brussels Raider! Way to go, Theo, Jed, and Aiden! You made someone's morning a little brighter, and you certainly made us proud! 💙 Together We Rise! 🦅💙🤍

Recess ended up being a school wide science class as the kids had a great time finding crickets on the playground. Our school total 110 crickets in 30 minutes!

It was a busy day in Mrs. Cundiff's science classes. 3rd/4th grade learned about the water cycle and how rain forms as part of their Weather/Climate study. They had fun creating rain clouds as part of their study. 1st/2nd grade had a great time making witchy green playdough as they measured, mixed, and observed the changes of their ingredients.
