Faire Coffee will be serving Brimfield CUSD 309 on 11/8, and they will have coffee delivered to the schools! If you'd like to place an online order:
1. Go to this link: https://www.toasttab.com/faire-coffee-camper and add your order to the cart.
2. When checking out, select Curbside; in the 'car description' section, write either BHS or BGS as well as your first and last name. This is very important to make sure we get the correct orders to each school and can find which student to deliver the coffee too! Please be sure it is the student name that is entered and not the person ordering; this way the coffee can be delivered to your student during the morning.
3. Make sure to select Friday, 11/8 at 8:15am.
It's Election Day! Go Vote! Some of our 2nd graders voted early.

Dear BHS Students and fans,
With all BHS Fall sports reaching the postseason and with the winter season quickly approaching, it’s crucial that we remind everyone of the importance of positive sportsmanship while cheering on our teams. Whether you’re in the stands or on the sidelines, your behavior can greatly impact the atmosphere of the game and the experience of both players and fellow spectators.
Here are expectations for BHS fans:
1. Support Your Team: Pay attention to the game and cheer loudly and proudly for our athletes! Your encouragement can boost their morale and performance.
2. Respect Opponents & Officials: Remember that the opposing team is made up of teenage athletes just like us. Show them respect. There should not be cheers/jeers against the opponents or officials. Negative remarks about players or officials can create a hostile environment and reflect poorly on yourself, our school, and community.
3. Be Inclusive: Encourage everyone to join in the fun. Invite classmates to cheer and create a welcoming atmosphere for ALL fans and visitors.
4. Accept Redirection Respectfully: If a school official asks you to stop something, kindly accept the direction and move on. Refrain from sarcastic replies or defensive comments. Simply reply with a, “Yes, sir” or “Yes, ma’am” and move on with positive support for your team.
5. Demonstrate Good Sportsmanship: Show appreciation for both teams at the end of the game. A simple round of applause for everyone’s effort can go a long way.
Please note, extracurricular events apply school rules since they are school events. According to our student handbook students removed from an extracurricular event may be banned from the remaining events during that season. Students must maintain positive sportsmanship while cheering for our teams. These events are about supporting the students participating on the field/court/track etc. It is an expectation that BHS fans exemplify our #1 goal of being a decent human while attending any school sanctioned events.
Thank you for your cooperation and enthusiasm.

Congrats to the two Brimfield Grade School students on the Brimfield Chess Team! We are proud of you. The Brimfield Chess Team competed in the Sterling Chess Invite. Ellie Eads won a medal at the event scoring three points for the team in the junior high section and Lily Moody earned a certificate for playing in the elementary section
Last Saturday, the Brimfield Chess Team played in the Sterling Invite. In the Open Division, Nolan Collins got 1st place, Reede Fabry got 2nd, and Carson Moody got 3rd.
What happens when staff have a half day together? 2 Things: A chili cook off for lunch- taste testing and the golden ladle trophy paired with creating action items for our District Strategic Plan. All staff picked the area they were most interested in- District Health, Community, Teaching and Learning, and Climate and Culture. Once in groups we brainstormed and shared ideas and actions items we could roll out this year, next year, and in 5 years. We are moving in the right direction and it is so exciting. Thank you to the ROE for lending a hand and helping us carry this out.
8th grade Math with Mr. Kruiswyk was exciting last week. Barbie Zipline project and using Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of ziplines, then using that to calculate the rates of travel of our subjects on those various ziplines.
Brimfield community, you may remember BHS earned Exemplary status from ISBE for the first time ever last year. We were thrilled and proud of our students, staff, and families for being rated in the top 10% of all IL high schools. We used this data as motivation and set deliberate goals for the 2023-2024 school year. Our students and staff crushed those goals! We were awaiting the new ratings and are proud to announce that BHS is once again Exemplary. Not only is BHS exemplary, BHS is in the top 1% of all IL high schools. BHS has the highest rating of ALL area high schools. We are excited to share this data with all of you and to share the details and huge accomplishment with our students! #Proud #Shape309 #DecentHumanBeings
