The NHS Leadership Team visited the 4K students today to welcome them to school. They read them the story "The Lion Inside" and then talked to them about how, even though they are the smallest students in our district, they still have big, brave lion hearts. At the end of their visit, they gave each student their own stuffed Brillion Lion, wearing a Brillion shirt, to take home. #brillionlions







3rd graders learned about the force of gravity in STEM and were challenged to build bridges out of just 2 pieces of paper. One bridge was able to hold over 100 stones! #brillionlions #brillionstem





💍 **FOUND: High School Class Ring!**
A person in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, recently found a high school class ring mixed in with a collection of costume jewelry and is hoping to reunite it with its rightful owner.
If you recognize the ring or know someone who may have lost it, please reach out to me! I will pass along any information to the person who found it. mbauknec@brillionsd.org
Please see the attached pictures for identification. Sharing this post may help bring the ring home! ❤️💙

Motivational Monday, October 12, 2026. Enjoy your week! #brillionlions

In STEM class, 5th graders learned about energy and matter while growing lettuce in a hydroponics system. They had to keep the water chemistry balanced while tracking the growth of their plants. At the end, we made salads and each student was able to harvest a bag of lettuce to take home! #brillionlions #brillionstem

Middle school STEM students created their own Operation Game and then played their games with the 3rd graders! #brillionlions #brillionstem








Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers proclaimed October 4 - 10, 2026, as Wisconsin School Board Week throughout the State of Wisconsin, and I commend this observance to all our state's residents.
Schools are the heartbeat of a community, and board members are devoted to helping children grow and reach their potential. Board members gather each month to make the tough decisions—and they put in countless hours between meetings to make sure they have the information necessary to make those decisions. Thank you, Brillion Public Schools Board of Education! #brillionlions

3rd graders in STEM have been learning about forces. They played tug of war, hopped cups with rubber bands, and launched balloons! #brillionlions #brillionstem







Important Information for Co-Curricular Events
For the safety of all students and spectators, all elementary and middle school students must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult when attending co-curricular events. Students who arrive without an adult will be denied admission and asked to leave school property.
At Friday’s football game, inappropriate student behavior compromised the safety and enjoyment of the event. Moving forward, we ask for everyone’s cooperation in following these expectations:
*Students must remain seated near their supervising adult and cheer on our teams.
*Running or playing behind the bleachers, on the elementary playground, hill, or field, or under the bleachers is not permitted.
* Students are not permitted in the school building during events.
* Please do not bring footballs, volleyballs, frisbees, or any other sports equipment to co-curricular events. This applies to both indoor and outdoor events.
* Anyone who does not follow these expectations will be asked to leave the event immediately.
The school building will be closed, and school restrooms will not be available. A portable restroom is available near the field, and restrooms are also available at Peters Park.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for all students, families, athletes, and spectators. We appreciate your cooperation and support of our school events.

In STEM, 5th graders have been learning about the types and distribution of water on Earth. It turns out that Earth is mostly water and most of the water is saltwater! They made picture graphs using different colors to represent salt vs. fresh vs. frozen water. #brillionstem #brillionlions



5th graders are creating Charcoal Portraits after learning about the character creations of Tim Burton in Mrs. Smits' Art Class.
