WHAT A SURPRISE! 💙🤍
It was so great to see former Superintendent Dr. Martin stop by for a visit today!
He came dressed in his Raider Blue, and we absolutely loved it. 💙 It's always nice to catch up with people who have been such an important part of Brussels.
Thanks for stopping by, Dr. Martin! It was wonderful to see you and visit for a while. Once a Raider, always a Raider! 💙
Happy FriYAY! 💙🤍
We just can't hide our Brussels Pride! Whether you're wearing your Brussels blue at work, on vacation, around town, or at home, we want to see it!
📸 Drop your photos in the comments and show us your Brussels spirit. We can't wait to see our amazing students, staff, families, alumni, and community members proudly representing Brussels!
Together We Rise! 💙🤍
LET'S GO EAGLES!
This is open to 4th through 6th grade students. Come on out!
Mental Health Matters... and So Does Being Prepared! 💙
Over the last two days, I had the opportunity to attend the Area 5 SEL Hub & Project AWARE Mental Health Summer Summit alongside Mrs. Sarah Schleeper and Mrs. Maggie Meyer.
The conference focused on helping schools strengthen mental health supports by increasing awareness—understanding the challenges students face, identifying root causes, and building empathy—and developing agency, creating practical action plans and adult commitments that lead to meaningful change for students and staff.
We enjoyed reconnecting with familiar faces, making new professional connections, and were especially proud to collaborate with one of our very own Board of Education members, Mr. Matt Weld, throughout the event.
As the start of the school year draws near, the excitement continues to build! We are committed to creating a school environment where every student feels safe, supported, connected, and ready to learn.
It's going to be an incredible year in the Eagle's Nest and Raider Nation.
Together We Rise! 🦅⚔️

Sometimes it's the little moments that remind you just how special our school community is.
Last week, as I pulled into school, I realized I had a flat tire. Before I even had time to figure out what I was going to do, Yvonne called her husband, Cliff, and he immediately came to school and changed my tire.
It may have seemed like a small act of kindness, but it meant so much to me. We are incredibly fortunate to have employees who care for one another, and families who are always willing to lend a helping hand.
Thank you, Yvonne and Cliff, for reminding me what makes Brussels such a special place. It's people like you who make all the difference!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend an Effective Classroom Management professional development session with Mr. Stepanek and Mr. Baalman. While I forgot to take a picture 📸, I definitely didn't forget the valuable ideas we gained!
We explored practical strategies for creating positive classroom environments, increasing student engagement, setting clear expectations, and helping both students and teachers thrive. 🍎📚
Thank you to Mr. Stepanek and Mr. Baalman for investing in your professional growth and bringing new ideas back to Brussels CUSD #42. Every opportunity to learn makes us stronger for our students! 💙🦅

CALLING ALL ATHLETES who participate in the Calhoun Co-op
A sincere thank you to Lisa Fuhler for taking the time to provide First Aid, AED, and CPR training for our Brussels CUSD #42 staff.
While the IHSA requires all coaches to maintain certification in these lifesaving skills, we wanted to extend this opportunity to our entire staff. Every member of our school community plays an important role in keeping our students, colleagues, and visitors safe, and we believe everyone benefits from being prepared to respond in an emergency.
We appreciate Lisa for sharing her expertise and helping equip our team with the knowledge and confidence to act when it matters most. Investing in our staff's training is another way we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone in our schools.
Thank you, Lisa, for making a difference for Brussels CUSD #42! 💙
