By Kendall Jutzi and Nicole Mastnak It was a great turnout at Brussels Public School on Thursday, Sept. 25. We were glad to see all the parents and staff having a great time. All the students we talked to gave us basically the same report about 'Meet the Teacher Night'. They liked the food, and they liked showing their parents around. From Mrs. Douma's class, Brianne Wheeler told us they made objects out of vegetables. She also said they made their favourite rides from the fair, out of styrofoam cups, straws, corks, and other odds and ends. Mrs. Clark's and Ms A's class also enjoyed this. They sure have been creative. The Grade 4s in Ms Macdonald's class have been working on an interesting Spider unit. They are studying Charlotte's Web.
