Brussels High School is beyond excited to announce that Abby Johnes was selected to IHSA's All-State Academic Honorable Mention Team. To be nominated, she had to have a minimum 3.50 grade point average on a 4.0 scale after their 7th semester, have participated in at least two IHSA sponsored sports or activities during each of the last two years of high school, and demonstrated outstanding citizenship. However, nomination was not enough to be placed on the team. A committee of IHSA appointed officials reviewed her application and essay along with every other nominated student athlete in the state of Illinois. Because of her stellar athleticism and her immense intellect, she was selected. Abby continues to represent the Brussels community well in all she does. Congratulations to Abby Johnes!

The Art Expressions class experimented with different types of paints the last few weeks. They began with watercolors, dabbled in watercolor pencils, used oil and acrylic paints, and explored oil pastels. Each student embraced each medium and either discovered a love for or a dislike for each one, which they expressed in their end of the unit reflection write up they completed. While attempting each paint type, the students researched an artist and a painting of that paint medium and wrote a research analysis on them as well. They also replicated a famous painting using oil pastels. Their skills are phenomenal and never cease to amaze me. Overall, the students enjoyed painting and were able to showcase their skills with each style of paint.
