Mark your calendars and line the streets to show your school spirit!!! We cannot wait to see you on the 22nd.
Our 1st and 2nd grade science classes are having fun learning about life cycles. They love watching the caterpillars and are eagerly awaiting for the chrysalis to be made and butterflies to emerge.
🦸♂️ TRUE HEROES OF THE DAY! 🦸♂️
Today, we are sending a HUGE Brussels CUSD #42 thank you to Joe from FUJITSU, Andy from JOHNSTONE SUPPLY, and Jeremy from AIR ALLIANCE!
These gentlemen traveled from the St. Louis area—and even all the way from Texas—to Brussels to help us tackle the ongoing HVAC issues at our Junior High/High School.
And we have some REALLY good news to share…
💙 WE CURRENTLY HAVE AIR CONDITIONING AT THE JH/HS! 💙
The units are not operating at full capacity just yet, and there is still work to be done, but they are running, they are cooling, and that is a MAJOR improvement! 🙌
We cannot say enough about the time, expertise, teamwork, and determination these gentlemen brought with them today. After a long road of working to find answers and solutions, feeling cool air coming from those units is definitely something worth celebrating!
Joe, Andy, and Jeremy—you are our true heroes of the day! Thank you for making the trip, rolling up your sleeves, working together, and helping us get our school year back on track. We are incredibly grateful!
🥪 And a special THANK YOU to Majesta at MME's Red & White for making some awesome sandwiches to keep these guys fueled while they worked! We appreciate our local businesses and community members who are always willing to step up and take care of the people taking care of us. 💙
There is still more work ahead, but today was a BIG WIN for Brussels!

IMPORTANT SCHEDULE UPDATE – EARLY DISMISSAL ALL WEEK
Brussels CUSD #42 families, please be advised that we will have a 2:00 p.m. dismissal every day next week, Monday, August 31 through Friday, September 4.
Our Junior High/High School building is still without air conditioning, and with extremely hot temperatures predicted for next week, we are making this adjustment with the safety and well-being of our students and staff in mind.
Monday, August 31 – 2:00 p.m. dismissal
Tuesday, September 1 – 2:00 p.m. dismissal
Wednesday, September 2 – 2:00 p.m. dismissal
Thursday, September 3 – 2:00 p.m. dismissal
Friday, September 4 – 2:00 p.m. dismissal
We know some families may wonder why we cannot dismiss earlier in the day. In order for the day to count as a full day of student attendance, we must provide at least five hours of instructional time, excluding lunch and passing periods. With those requirements in mind, 2:00 p.m. is the earliest we are able to dismiss while still meeting the required instructional time.
We appreciate the patience, flexibility, and understanding of our families as we continue working through the air-conditioning situation. Technicians will be onsite this week to continue to work on a solution. We recognize that schedule changes can create challenges for families, and we sincerely appreciate everyone working together with us.
Please help us spread the word and make arrangements for the 2:00 p.m. dismissal each day next week.
Thank you for your continued support of Brussels CUSD #42. Together We Rise!
Flyers went home this week to 4th-6th grade girls families at BGS and SMS. Please sign your daughter up by Monday, August 31!🦅🏀
💗 Today, we traded our blue and white for PINK! 💗
Fridays are usually Spirit Days at BHS, but today we wore pink in honor of Dolly Parton—a lifelong advocate for childhood literacy and putting books into the hands of children. 📚💗
A little different kind of school spirit today, but for a pretty great reason!
💗📚 Together We Rise! 📚💗
A great way to kick off the school year! 💙🤍
Yesterday, I attended the Pike County Conference meeting with athletic directors and administrators from Griggsville-Perry, Meredosia-Chambersburg, Pleasant Hill, Payson, Pittsfield, and Western.
It was great to get together, connect, and start planning for the year ahead. One of the best parts of rural schools is working together to provide as many opportunities as possible for our students!

What a great first day back!
We are so excited to have our students back and to kick off another wonderful school year! It was wonderful seeing our hallways and classrooms full again.
Here are a few pictures from our first day!! 💙🤍
Somehow we all survived the first week of school. Though we may not have AC in the high school, the students toughed it out and found a way to embrace the first week of school.
The high school teachers along with some pretty amazing parent volunteers, Eddie Plummer and Michelle Myers, orchestrated a first day of school field day where the students competed as a class against the other classes to see which team could run the relay race the fastest. The students laughed and reconnected making the first day of school one to be remembered. They even got watermelon for a snack!
Here's to a great year at BHS!

Our amazing golf team just finished their first week of matches. We're so glad to have our returning players for their third year. They are dedicated players that give it their all. Tanner Churchman and Henry Barczewski both had a birdie, Tanner achieving his by chipping it in the hole from off of the green. Colton Hall had a nice one putt to finish a hole from a good distance on the green. We have a home match at Lockhaven Golf Course on Monday at 4:00 pm against Bunker Hill, and spectators are welcome. Come out and golf clap for our players!
