The Art Expressions class was at it again. This time, learning from some of Brussels’ most talented ladies. On Wednesday, we sat down with the St. Mary’s quilting ladies and learned some ins and outs. A couple of our girls even dared to sew a few stitches. On Thursday, we went to St. Matthew’s and talked with the quilting ladies there. These ladies know so much about the art of quilting and were eager to share their knowledge. We are so appreciative they kindly welcomed us and are truly blessed to have them as a part of our community.
Watch out for these Greek Mythology Experts! Mrs. Cundiff's 5/6 class has been studying Greek Mythology, and did presentations on what they learned. They had their own creative freedom to choose how they presented, and they did a fantastic job!
Today, Art Expressions was blessed with the wonderful Susan Surgeon who brought the world of English piecing to the students. Not only did she share the history of English piecing, she brought in patterns and material for the students to practice and put together their own English piece and shared a couple of her very own hand sewn quilts. As we begin to wrap up our quilting unit, we are so appreciative of Mrs. Surgeon for coming in to show us another way to quilt.

Explosive things were happening on the playground today! The 5th & 6th graders showcased their homemade volcanoes on our basketball court. Some volcanoes had big explosions, and some had small spurts, so it taught our students about the different chemical reactions with different ingredients.

We recognized our only Senior, Caden Hayn, at our golf match tonight at Lockhaven. Caden is one of our top players on the boys team, and we were glad he could play with us for our first official year as a golf team. He always as an upbeat attitude and strives really hard to improve his golf game. If you see Caden, be sure to congratulate him on a great season of golf. Caden will go on to do great things, but we will definitely miss him next year!

The Art Expressions class at Brussels High School stitched their way through their first unit on hand sewing. With donated material from several contributors, they were able to hand sew pillows, pumpkin decorations, and bags. All 6 girls, Abby Johnes, Leila Schulte, Audrina Pohlman, Summer Schneider, Sha’Nia Burries, and Mady Nolte did a wonderful job on their projects and learned several different types of stitches. Now on to machine sewing and quilting with project pictures to come.
