BRUSSELS EAGLES FAMILY ❄️
Winter weather is quickly approaching, and we want to make sure our students stay warm, safe, and ready for every kind of Midwest surprise!
Please remember to send students with proper winter gear each day — coats, hats, gloves, and warm layers. We will still plan to go outside for recess and outdoor transitions as long as the temperature is above 35 degrees.
Also, in the event that a bus would ever experience a delay or mechanical issue, students may be waiting on that bus for a short time — and we want them bundled up and comfortable.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and warm this season!
We appreciate your support as we navigate winter together. ☃️🧣🧤

With the weather getting colder as the winter season is coming closer, PLEASE make sure you are dressing your child(s) appropriately. Whether that be wearing layers, hats/gloves/scarves, or a heavier coat, your child NEEDS to be wearing warmer coats as we walk down the gymnasium for PE.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Calling All Brussels High School Graduates — Past and Present! 💙
We’re creating something truly special — a tribute to what it means to be a Brussels High School Graduate — and we’d love for every single graduate to be part of it.
Every graduate has a story — from those who just tossed their caps to those who walked our halls generations ago.
By filling out this short survey, you’ll help us:
* Match each graduate with their photo — the ones proudly hanging on the walls of Brussels High School.
* Share the stories behind the faces — where life has taken our graduates and how their BHS experiences helped shape who they became.
* Honor every graduate — including those no longer with us or those who may need a little help completing the survey.
If you know a Brussels graduate who might struggle with technology, please lend a hand — or, if you’re completing the survey in honor of someone like your parent, grandparent, or friend, we’d love that too. Our goal is to gather information from every single graduate, so no one is left out of the Brussels CUSD #42 Family story.
Together, we celebrate a lasting legacy of learning, friendship, and community — one that continues to make Brussels High School, Junior High, and Elementary School proud.
https://forms.gle/1aRb4aQSHCrTvFzEA
Tip: If you know other graduates who might not see this post — especially those who graduated many years ago — please reach out and help them complete the survey too. Our goal is to have information from every single Brussels graduate, past and present!

Alyssa Bonner visited the Science Careers class today to talk about the dental hygiene program at Lewis and Clark. It is always great to have former students come back to talk to our current students about their career paths. We learned a lot of interesting stuff about our teeth and the career of a dental hygienist. Please be sure to brush your teeth twice a day, floss, and scrape your tongue to get rid of those nasty cavity causing bacteria. If you see Alyssa out and about, be sure to ask her how cavities are formed😉. Thanks Alyssa! 🦷🪥
The Good Stuff…💙
We had a special visitor yesterday — Mr. Weld! The students were very curious about who he was and what he did for a living. Their guesses ranged from CIA agent to welder, lawyer, and even singer! Kids are so imaginative and funny! 🤣
Mr. Weld explained that he helps teachers and school leaders — and also happens to be a member of the Brussels Board of Education. The students were especially entertained to learn that he’s actually one of my bosses!
This is why being in schools with kids is the best place to be! 💙

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are currently experiencing technical difficulties involving our Grade School Report Cards. We are trying to resolve this issue as fast as possible to be able to send out report cards soon. All JH/HS report cards will be sent out today.
Again, we apologize for this inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

🎃 Inside the Eagle’s Nest! 🦅
Wow—what a week it has been!
Our classrooms were buzzing with creativity and laughter as students dove into STEM centers inspired by the book “Creepy Crayon!” 🖍️ Each group was challenged to engineer a trap to contain the creepy crayon—and their designs were spooktacular!
We also had the honor of recognizing Dave Johnson, a basketball official of more than 30 years, whose dedication and positive presence have made a lasting impact on our community. 🏀 Thank you, Dave, for your years of service and for being such an incredible role model for our students!
Meanwhile, our third graders enjoyed a special lunch with Mrs. Michele and some fun Halloween snacks. 👻 Our 1st annual Spooky Walk-Through and Halloween Parties wrapped up the week with tons of smiles, laughter, and a little bit of frightful fun!
It’s always a great week to be a Brussels Eagle! 💙
#InsideTheEaglesNest #EaglePride #TogetherWeRise
Hello everyone! We’re excited to welcome all who plan to attend today’s Spooky Walk-Through! The side door across from the Industrial Arts building will open for guests at 2:25 p.m. — we can’t wait to see you there!
A quick safety reminder: please avoid driving on 155 School Street, the roadway connecting the schools to the gym. We’ll have lots of students walking to and from the gym, and we want to keep that area safe and vehicle-free. You are welcome to park on Main Street.
Thank you for helping us make this a fun and safe event for everyone!
Welcome to the week of witches’ brew—and if you only knew! 🧙♀️ We’re all having a ghoulishly good time here at Brussels Jr./Sr. High! But it's true... If only the students knew what they were sticking their hands into… 😱
A huge shoutout to Mrs. Schleeper and Mrs. Gilbreth for brewing up some frightfully fun lunchtime activities for our students! Whether you joined in or just watched the spooky silliness unfold, everyone had a blast. 👻
These are the memory-making moments that make the Halloween season so spooktacular! 🎃

A little late for Principals’ Week (as it landed during Red Ribbon Week!), but it’s always the right time to celebrate our amazing leaders! 💙
Brussels Elementary and Brussels Jr./Sr. High are so lucky to have the dynamic duo—the two Mrs. Longs! Their care, energy, and dedication shine every day. Sending a BIG TIME thanks for all you do for our kids, our staff, our families, and our community! 🌟

We’re so grateful to be part of a community full of skilled and caring individuals who help keep our schools safe and free of creepy crawlers! 🪳 A huge thank-you to Wallendorf Pest Control for responding so quickly and taking great care of our campus. It’s a true blessing to have local experts we can count on—thank you, Gus, for all you do! 💙
Veterans deserve to be honored — in life and beyond. 🌟
We are fortunate to live in a community where the American Legion remains strong with over 50 dedicated members, and where the Sons of the American Legion continue the proud tradition of service and respect for those who served our nation. 🇺🇸
Pictured here is one of Brussels High School’s own, Jed Struse, a proud grandson of an American Legion member. This is what respect looks like — a young person stepping up to honor one of our own, a veteran who has given so much.
Thank you, Jed, for stepping up and standing proud. We thank all our veterans and American Legion members for their continued service. ❤️🤍💙
When it comes to school pride, no one shines brighter than Mrs. Nolle! 📣 One day, she’s walking into the office with nostalgic Brussels pom-poms from the good old days of Brussels High School, and the next, she’s using them to lead the littles in a spirited performance of the school song. Her enthusiasm, pride, and love for Brussels are contagious, inspiring everyone around her to celebrate our school with heart and joy. 🤩 Mrs. Nolle, you reign as our Queen of School Spirit — thank you for keeping Raider and Eagle pride alive! 🙌🏻

Get out your shades, because here comes the sunshine! 💛
With her kindness, compassion, and radiant positivity, Mrs. Nolte brightens every room she enters. Her caring nature and warm heart reflect the true spirit of this award, bringing comfort, joy, and encouragement to students and staff every day. Mrs. Nolte, your light shines brightly across our district — thank you for being our sunshine! ☀️

She's a SUPERHERO! 🦸♀️
Wherever there’s a happening, you’ll find Mrs. Johnes — camera in hand, capturing memories and leading the way for student celebrations. From coordinating Student of the Month events to ensuring every student is safely loaded onto the bus at the end of the day, she does it all with dedication and heart. In her own magical way, she serves as a constant source of support for students, staff, and even graduates long after they’ve left our halls.
Mrs. Johnes, you truly are our superhero — thank you for all that you do! 🌟

THE GOOD STUFF… 🎶
The best part about teaching music is the inspiration it gives to kids. You see, Mr. Jerry Sievers inspired me at a very young age. I loved music class, and the thought of playing an instrument someday was so motivating. Then came Mr. Gary Gardner, who taught me to play the saxophone — and that magic continued. I sang for the first time at my high school graduation. Later, I wrote an album with my brother, had a release party at Longneckers, recorded a CD, and even formed a band. Now, I get to share what I know with the little littles, the big littles, and a few junior high students — and watching them light up with that same spark is the best feeling in the world.
The world really does go round that way… one inspiration leading to another, truly being one of the greatest blessings of all. 🎤🎸

Our 1st and 2nd grade Social Studies classes had a wonderful visit from “Sheriff Bill” Heffington! 👮♂️ He shared all about the importance of rules and laws and how they help keep our community safe and running smoothly. The students loved hearing real-life examples and asking great questions—it was a great way to bring their civics lesson to life! 💙🦅
