BRUSSELS CUSD 42

A BIG shout-out to our amazing PTO for working alongside us to make Meet the Teacher Night such a great evening! 💙🤍

A special thank you for helping our newest students get officially “signed” up for Kindergarten! What a fun way to welcome them to Brussels and make the start of their school journey extra special! ✏️📚

And we absolutely loved the positive notes and affirmations written along the sidewalk as we left Tuesday evening. Those little messages were such a wonderful reminder of the encouragement and support that surrounds our students and staff.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided to rain on our parade a little and washed some of those messages away—but she certainly couldn’t wash away the positive spirit behind them! 😊

Thank you as well to all of the parents and families who attended our Parent Meeting. We appreciate you taking the time to join us, hear about the year ahead, and stay informed. Your partnership and support mean so much to our schools and our students. If you have any questions about anything that was discussed, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We are always happy to help!

We welcomed the new school year with plenty of smiles and a whole lot of Brussels pride. Thank you to everyone who helped us start the year on such a positive note! 💙🤍

Senior Breakfast Tradition 💙 What a special way to start the school year! This morning, our seniors gathered together for a special breakfast before their first day of school. 🥞☕️ Here’s to making the most of every moment of your final year! Welcome back, Seniors! 🎓💙

Writing What an AWESOME first day of the 2026–2027 school year! 💙🤍 Our buildings were filled with smiles, laughter, excitement, and plenty of great energy as our students and staff came together to kick off a brand-new year. Memories are already being made, relationships are being forged, and we are so excited to see what this year has in store! There is just something special about that first-day feeling—and today was a wonderful reminder of what makes our Brussels school community such a great place to be. Here’s to a year of learning, growing, supporting one another, and making memories along the way! 💙🤍 Together We Rise! 🤍💙 #TogetherWeRise

Who's ready for the first day of school? The Brussels High School teachers, along with our very own Miss Calhoun, have been working tirelessly to make the first day of school for the 6-12th grade students one they won't forget. The 6-12th grade students will celebrate their first day of school with a short assembly followed by a morning filled with fun activities that will bring about laughter, teamwork, and probably some sweat. After lunch, 9-12 grade students will get the opportunity to participate in class meetings, find organizations to be a part of at BHS, and learn what it truly means to be a Raider! We are so excited to be a part of our students' first day of school. *Abby Johnes, we truly appreciate all the help you provided to make this day successful! *Not pictured Jeanne Johnes, Amy Manker, and Chad Brodbeck who all contributed to the first day of school events!)

💙 WHAT A WONDERFUL FIRST DAY! 💙 What an amazing way to kick off the 2026–2027 school year! It was so good to have our staff back together today, reconnecting, learning, laughing, and preparing for the year ahead. I truly cannot wait to see what this year brings for our students, staff, and entire Brussels community! But tonight made the day even more special. Seeing our hallways filled with students and families again was absolutely wonderful! The smiles, hugs, conversations, and excitement were a great reminder of what makes Brussels such a special place. 💙 We also had a fantastic turnout for our parent meeting, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to attend. Thank you for supporting your children, partnering with our staff, and supporting all of us here at school. That partnership makes a difference, and we appreciate you! Tomorrow, we finish preparing—and then it's time to welcome our students back and begin another incredible year together! 💙🤍 TOGETHER WE RISE! 🤍💙
