Grade 8 is pleased to report that
cheese sales arc finally complete
and we have raised a substantial
amount of money to assist each stu
dent to see “The Phantom of the
Opera” in Toronto in May. A visit
to the beautiful Pantages Theatre is
an exciting event which we all
anticipate with pleasure.
Brussels School has two new stu
dents in the Intermediate division.
Martin and Angelia Doonanco
came to our school from Chilli
wack, British Columbia. We wel
come Marlin in Grade 8 and
Angelia in Grade 6/7. When asked
how they liked Brussels so far they
both agreed that it was okay but
quite different from their former
Junior High School. Martin seems
to find the snow an interesting
experience.
The Christmas concert presented
by primary and junior divisions
was a great success. Although it
was delayed by bad weather it was
enjoyed by a large audience on
Thursday evening. Kindergarten to
grade three performed “The Christ
mas Tree's Noel”. Grade 3/4 wrote
and presented “Rudolph Helps
Out” and grade 4/5 delighted the
audience with “December's
Lessons”. Special thanks to Mr.
and Mrs. Patch who gave us the
beautiful tree to be used in the con
cert.
Intramural sports programs are
on hold until the new year when
the substage will be gone and
things will be back to normal. We'll
all be ready to resume the volley
ball schedule.
Students and teachers are looking
forward to two weeks of Christmas
holidays. We will end this first
term with a special day as the grade
8 student committee have planned a
Christmas colour day. Students will
all wear red, green or white. The
best-dressed from each class will
have their pictures taken to be post
ed in the hall.
Merry Christmas to all students,
teachers and to all our community
friends.
