What a day! 💙
Brussels High School students and staff had an incredible time exploring the St. Louis Art Museum! From classic masterpieces to modern works, the day was filled with creativity, curiosity, and meaningful conversations.
Students experienced art up close, made connections to history and culture, and even discovered a few new favorites along the way.
BIG THANKS to the awesome staff and board for making this trip possible, a neat extension of the classroom! Sometimes, the best lessons come from simply observing, wondering, and being inspired. 💫

The Brussels Freshman Class of 2029 is hosting a bake sale on Saturday, May 9th, @ 8am. We will be set up at Brussels High School during the Plant Sale and in town at the St. Mary’s parking lot. All proceeds help to class with prom, graduation, field trips, and more.
We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to Build My Future STL for providing such an incredible, hands-on experience for our students! 🔧
Through this event, students had the opportunity to explore careers in the construction industry through interactive booths, equipment operation, and real-world skill demonstrations—from welding and surveying to heavy equipment and more. These experiences help open doors, spark interests, and connect learning to future career pathways in a meaningful way.
We are also beyond proud to celebrate our own Mady Nolte for winning BIG at the event! Your hard work, enthusiasm, and willingness to jump in and try something new truly paid off. 👏🏻
Thank you again to Build My Future STL for investing in our students and their futures—and congratulations, Mady! We are so proud of you! 💙

The GOOD STUFF... 💙
Our own Jed treated his teachers to a sweet treat just because, which is the best kind of gesture. This is kindness. This is THE GOOD STUFF! 💙

Modern Woodmen has recognized our National Honor Society and Mrs. Jeannie Johnes with the Hometown Heroes Award, and it couldn’t be more well-deserved.
As highlighted in the nomination, our NHS students consistently step up to serve others. From supporting the Girl Scouts and local park initiatives to partnering with veteran organizations like the American Legion and meeting needs within our own school, this group leads with service and heart.
And behind it all is Mrs. Johnes. Not only does she serve as sponsor, but she is a constant presence—showing up, cheering on students, capturing moments, and lifting others up in countless ways. Her impact reaches far beyond the classroom.
We are incredibly proud of both Mrs. Johnes and our NHS members for this recognition.
Thank you to Modern Woodmen for honoring the spirit of service in our community—we are truly grateful.
All the good stuff, right here. ✨

👩🏫🍎 Teacher for a Day – What a Special Experience! 🍎👨🏫
We had an incredible time welcoming our high school seniors into the classroom for our Teacher for a Day experience! It was a joy to see these young leaders step into the role of educator and share their knowledge, creativity, and enthusiasm with our students.
✨ Our guest teachers for the day included:
Miss Schulte stepping in for Miss Steward, leading ELA
Miss Nolte taking over for Mrs. Nolte in Math
Miss Pohlman filling in for Mrs. Cundiff, teaching Science and Social Studies
Miss Schneider stepping in for Mr. Stepanek (who was in for Mrs. Rose!) in Kindergarten
Mr. Brundies stepped in for Mrs. P. Long as Principal
From engaging lessons to meaningful connections, our seniors did a fantastic job inspiring our younger Eagles. Experiences like this not only give our seniors a glimpse into the world of education, but also strengthen the sense of community and pride within our school.
💙 Thank you to our seniors for stepping up, and to our staff for supporting this opportunity. We are so proud of the leadership, responsibility, and heart you showed today!

THIS ⬇️ is the GOOD STUFF! 🥰
My heart is truly full after our Community Work Day. I cannot thank everyone enough for showing up, giving your time, and pouring your energy into making our grounds so much more beautiful. The transformation is incredible—but even more powerful was the spirit behind it. 💙
A very special thank you to Chelsea Bonner for organizing this event—and to the Bonner family for showing up BIG. Your heart for this community brought people together in such a meaningful way. Watching everyone work side by side and stay committed well into the afternoon was something special.
There were so many moments that captured the heart of the day—Joanie with her chainsaw, taking down low-hanging branches; Cindy tirelessly clearing leaves from every possible space; Ashley and Dan building a flowered landscape, and families painting, hauling, and picking up branches together. Everyone found a way to contribute, and it showed in every corner.
To the Presley family—bringing your tractor all the way from Meppen is something we won’t forget. That kind of generosity speaks volumes.
A heartfelt thank you to Carol and Keith Pohlman for donating the beautiful blue flower pots that now brighten the front of the high school. They add such a welcoming and vibrant touch to our space.
And to all who came out—students, staff, teachers, administrators, parents, and community members—your willingness to pitch in and be part of something bigger than yourselves did not go unnoticed. You are what makes this community so strong.
This is what makes our school special. It’s more than the improvements—it’s the pride, the care, and the shared sense of purpose.
Please know how deeply appreciated you are. What you gave made a difference far beyond what words can capture.
THIS IS INDEED THE GOOD STUFF! 💙
The Survivor Flight visit was an incredible experience for our students! 💙
They had the opportunity to explore the helicopter, meet the pilot—a U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 and combat veteran—and connect with two outstanding nurses who play a critical role in saving lives every day. Each guest took time to talk with students, answer questions, and share their experiences, making the learning both meaningful and memorable. We were also proud to have several local heroes on site, adding even more depth to this special day. 🚁
We extend our sincere thanks to all who serve and support our community.
Another heartfelt shout-out to Mrs. Schelle Fuhler for the invitation, coordination, and care in making this opportunity possible. We are truly grateful.

Brussels CUSD is proud to recognize one of our own, Will Schleeper, a 2020 Brussels High School graduate, who recently returned to share his professional journey with our students! 💙
Will is now working as a Surveyor with Byrne & Jones Construction, contributing to projects in their Sports Division—helping design and lay out ballfields and tracks before construction even begins.
During his visit, Will spoke about how his time at Brussels High School, including Mr. Brodbeck’s CTE classes, helped shape his career path and provided the foundation for pursuing his degree in Construction Management at SIUE. His story is a powerful reminder of how hands-on learning and strong mentorship can influence future success.
We are especially proud to have strong Raider roots in Will’s family—his sisters, Eve and Kate, are students here, and his mom, Sarah, is our dedicated school nurse!
Thank you, Will, for coming back to inspire the next generation. Your journey makes us proud to be Brussels! 💙
