Orange Chicken or Beef Teriyaki today at the High School. Such a hard choice to make!
Brillion music students shared their talents with the community for the Brillion Area Family of Funds annual tree-lighting event. Middle school and high school students played a variety of familiar holiday tunes under the direction of Ms. Pamperin, and Ms. Rice led a choir of elementary, middle, and high school students in singing some fun Christmas carols. The students enjoyed spreading some holiday cheer! #brillionlions

"Just want to give a shout-out to our superintendent, Mr. Baumgartner. I was just at
Tadych's Marketplace Foods and he was there ringing the bell for The Salvation Army. To some, this may not be a big deal as there are always people out there ringing the bell. To see our superintendent out there making a difference speaks volumes. Thank you, Mr. Baumgartner!" #brillionlions
Kindergartens' next two stops for their toys around the world unit were Africa to make a spinning buzzer and China to make a jianzi. #brillionlions #brillionstem
Toys around the world! What a great unit for kindergarten to have right before Christmas. In the STEM room, they are making toys to bring home. Cup and ball originated in Mexico and Hoopla in Italy. #brillionstem, #brillionlions
