Fellow Graduates, Brussels Public
School Staff, Community
Representatives, Family and
Friends, these may very well be
some of the achievements of this
year’s graduating class of Brussels
Public School.
Let’s flashback to the year 2000,
when we were a group of ankle
biters heading to Brussels Public
School for the first day. We hardly
knew one another when we started
school with Mrs. Hall for the first
time. Learning to tie our shoes was
an easy step for some of us – for
others, not so much! We had so
much fun building towers as high as
the climber out of wooden blocks
and we had oversized shirts on
backwards while painting pictures of
people with arms and legs coming
out of their heads.
In 2002, we had Mrs. Douma and
we were making more new friends.
Some of us were cheating on our
spelling tests and some were even
scared when we had art class with
Mrs. Lee. Remember how Josh was
our own Bart Simpson – who had to
write out “Chicken” what seemed
like a million times on a sheet of
paper because he thought the word
was so funny? And oh, how proud
we were of ourselves when we lost a
tooth!
Do you remember in Grade 2
when we had Mrs. Lee and Mr.
Stewart? And how we had to do
tricks for our lunch monitors in
order to go outside? Does anyone
remember when Jamee did the splits
and ripped her pants?
How about in Grade 3? That year
everyone was getting into fights with
their friends. We had Mr. Stewart for
the second time and Mrs. Mitchell as
teachers. That year we went to
Medieval Times, had an amazing
time at the show, and cheered so
loud for the black knight. (Too bad
he lost!)
Remember back in Grade 4 when
Jake started at our school? He had
those “super cool” Spiderman legs –
now he has these new flashy “F.E.
Madill Mustang” legs.
Then, in Grade 5 for our year-end
trip, we went to the Historical
Museum in Goderich and everyone
was mad at Mrs. Gilbert because it
was an “educational” field trip. I
guess looking back, it really wasn’t
so bad.
We were such a great group of
friends here at Brussels! So much
so, that after Ashlie left us in Grade
6 for a year, she realized we were
“the bomb” and came back for her
final years with us.
This was also our first year with
Mrs. Rodgers. On the first day, when
we girls spotted her on yard duty, we
rushed to introduce ourselves. Mrs.
Rodgers later went on to become our
“saviour” during this past year when
Mr. Westra was unfortunately unable
to accompany us on our class trip.
You rock Mrs. Rodgers!
How about in Grade 7? Our first
year as a split class, when we
were all split up. Some had Mrs.
Rodgers for a second time, and had a
blast with the younger students.
Others were with Mr. Westra,
enjoying the fun the older students
shared.
That brings us finally to Grade 8.
