The Good Stuff… 💙
What a beautiful evening for the Feast & Fortune Dinner and Silent Auction — an exciting event filled with great energy, strong community support, and generous fundraising for our students’ CEO projects! This event truly succeeded because of the incredible collaboration between CEO students, their supporters, and their dedicated director, Jennifer Sellers.

A special SHOUT OUT to Brussels High School students Leila Schulte and Summer Schnieder, who are growing their skills and confidence as future entrepreneurs through this program. We are so proud of your hard work and commitment to learning! Big thanks to Mrs. Johnes for her support and for capturing the memories!

Here’s to ALL STUDENTS' continued success! 💙

The Good Stuff…💙
National Honor Society Induction Celebration was held on Monday evening, an event that recognizes students who exemplify the four pillars: Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. These pillars represent more than achievements — they reflect dedication in the classroom, commitment to helping others, the courage to lead, and the integrity to do what is right.

Each of our new inductees has earned his/her place through hard work, compassion, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact in our school and community.

We proudly welcomed Camryn Klaas, Alex Friedel, Jordin Garcia, and
Summer Schneider, as our newest members.
Our outstanding current members —
Mady Nolte, Leila Schulte, Audrina Pohlman, and Dylan Droege — led a beautiful ceremony, presenting the four pillars and lighting candles to symbolize the values at the heart of NHS.

We extend our gratitude to Mrs. Johnes, whose leadership, guidance, and encouragement continue to inspire these students to excel.

Congratulations to all! We are incredibly proud of you and the bright futures you are building. 💙

🌳 Inside the Eagle’s Nest! 🌳 What a fantastic day of learning here at Brussels Elementary! Our students have been busy creating “Falling for Math” Trees, bringing together creativity, hands-on learning, and a whole lot of fall fun. 🍁 In ELA, grammar is always more enjoyable when you're surrounded by friends—lots of smiles, teamwork, and shared success all around! Over in the science wing, Mrs. Cundiff's classes were hard at work exploring some amazing concepts through hands-on labs: 2nd Grade: Properties of Matter 3rd Grade: Electric & Magnetic Interactions 4th Grade: Speed & Energy 5th Grade: Particle Models of Matter So much collaboration, curiosity, and engineering thinking happening in every corner of our building. Our Eagles continue to surprise us every day—you truly never know what exciting learning adventure you’ll find inside the Eagle’s Nest! Together, We Rise! 🦅

The Sunshine Award…☀️
Mrs. Smay is sunshine multiplied by three. She arrives each day with a warm smile, an encouraging word, and unwavering support for both students and staff. If you ask her for help, she’s the first to say, “You betcha—when do I start?” 😊
Our students know her well from recess, transition times, and writing support, and we are incredibly fortunate to have a retired, certified teacher serving as a paraprofessional—bringing exceptional expertise, a calm presence, and a heart full of joy to Brussels Elementary. 
She is, without a doubt, pure SUNSHINE. 💙

The Queen of School Spirit 🥳
Mrs. Katzenberger may be one of our culinary specialists, but she serves up far more than great food—she brings the spirit.
Her enthusiasm shines through the cafeteria every day and was on full display during Halloween week. She’s always willing to dress up, laugh, step outside her comfort zone, and create magical moments for our students—and for her colleagues, too. 🪄
Seeing her smile in the food line brightens everyone’s day. Her willingness to jump in and help at every turn is exactly what makes her the true Queen of School Spirit. 💙

The Super Human Award… 🌟
Mrs. Gilbreth is nothing short of superhuman. Serving as Brussels CUSD’s social worker and guidance counselor, she does it all—supporting students, supervising, implementing programs, overseeing social-emotional curriculum, sponsoring a class, promoting kindness, teaching vital life skills, and countless other tasks that strengthen our school community.
Her dedication, compassion, and expertise make an extraordinary impact. 🥰
We are deeply grateful for all she brings to Brussels. We are truly blessed to have a real-life superhero among us. 🦸🏻‍♀️

Please note that the road in front of the elementary school is one-way. Please do not back down the drive at any time, as this creates an unsafe situation for students, buses, and other vehicles.
We also kindly ask that families avoid parking along the fence by the elementary playground. Keeping this area clear helps ensure a smooth and safe flow of traffic during busy times.
We know waiting for buses can take a moment, and we appreciate your patience. Thank you for helping us keep our school street safe for everyone. 💙

🏀 OPEN GYM WITH COACH DAN — THIS SATURDAY! 🏀
Looking for a fun and active start to your weekend? Coach Dan is opening the Brussels Gym this Saturday from 10:00–11:30 AM for any Brussels/SMS students grades 1-6 who want to come shoot around, get some practice in, and burn off some energy! We will work to get waivers completed for Calhoun students to be able to participate next time. If you are a Calhoun parent and your student is interested, please contact Pam Long @ plong@brussels42.net

We planned the time early so families can still head out and cheer on the Warriors at the football game afterward. It’s a great way to kick off a busy fall Saturday!

Bring your sneakers, your hustle, and your Eagle spirit!

🦅 Inside the Eagle’s Nest! 🦅 What an incredible week at Brussels Elementary! Our Eagles were soaring in every direction with hands-on learning, kindness, movement, and celebration. 💛 World Kindness Day Our students shared big hearts and small acts of kindness all day long—what a joy to see their smiles and thoughtful gestures! 🧪 Science Fun in Grades 1–2 Our 1st and 2nd graders rolled up their sleeves for a fun science lesson, making their own Play-Doh and exploring how ingredients change when mixed together. Creative, messy, and full of learning! 🎖️ Veterans Day Program Our Veterans Day program was absolutely awesome. Thank you to our students, staff, community members, and especially our veterans who made this day so meaningful. Afterward, our 1st and 2nd graders enjoyed a calming yoga session to reset and relax. 📚 Learning Around the Building • 2nd Grade worked around the room on task cards sorting proper and common nouns—full of movement and focus! • 4th Grade listened to The True Story of the Three Little Pigs to compare facts versus opinions—lots of great discussion! • 5th Grade Girls practiced identifying author’s opinions, then spent some time letting out the wiggles afterward! • And our Lady Eagles 5th Grade Basketball Team wrapped up their last home game—way to go, girls! We’re proud of your teamwork and effort. Every week reminds us how fortunate we are to learn, grow, and celebrate together. #EaglePride #TogetherWeRise 🦅
