Brillion Elementary Fourth Grade Kindness Connection Club wants to make a difference! This past Tuesday, a group of fourth-grade students made their first of many visits to Westhaven Assisted Living to play bingo with residents.  Students were excited to play and help the residents play bingo. The residents seemed to enjoy the student's company. Mrs. Smits and Mrs. Hubley-Kedinger started the Kindness Connection Club to build relationships with the senior residents of our community in assisted living. Students were so excited after the activity that they could not wait to return in December for their next visit! #brillionlions

Winter Sports Attendance:
We are so thankful for the incredible support our sports teams receive from our families and community! To help ensure that everyone can enjoy our sporting events safely, we are updating our expectations for student attendance.

Beginning this season, elementary and middle school students must be accompanied by an adult when attending high school co-curricular events. This ensures that each student has an adult point of contact in case any issues arise.
All students are expected to remain in the gym and cheer on our teams. Students should not be running under the bleachers, in the commons, or in the hallways. Those who are not following these expectations will be asked to sit in the gym with their accompanying adult.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our events safe, positive, and enjoyable for everyone!

It’s never too early to explore STEM! Earlier this year, in Mrs. Geiger’s afternoon class, students were learning all about shapes. They discovered which shapes can roll—like the wheels on a bus—and why others cannot. This hands-on activity helped them connect math to the real world in a fun and engaging way! #brillionstem #brillionlions

Tug-of-war turned into a science lesson for our third graders! Through pulling on the rope, they discovered the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces and how pushes and pulls create motion. A perfect mix of teamwork and STEM learning! #brillionlions #brillionstem

The 4K students had a breezy time in the STEM Center learning all about how the wind blows! They experimented with different weighted items to discover what moves easily in the wind and what doesn’t. Through hands-on exploration, they observed, compared, and made predictions — all while having fun watching the power of the wind in action! #brillionstem #brillionlions
