Mrs. Marker-Miller’s 2nd graders wrapped up an *un-bee-lievable* honey bee unit! Students read *The Way of the Hive*, created bee-inspired art, designed “Save the Bees” posters, and learned from local beekeeper Mr. Chilton—plus enjoyed homemade honey and a sweet honey cake made by Mrs. DeJaegher.

We’re so proud of our buzzing junior conservationists!

We are proud to share that Officer Wes (SRO) and Mrs. Stillwell (HS Administrative Assistant) are taking a proactive lead in keeping our students safe!

They attended a 2-day conference and online training through the Indiana Office of School Safety to become certified School Safety Specialists.

By participating in this training, Officer Wes and Mrs. Stillwell are gaining the latest tools and strategies to enhance our emergency preparedness and maintain the supportive atmosphere our students deserve.

For the past week in Mr. Thornton's class, the students have spent the class periods designing and creating personalized CO2-powered cars. They were limited in size, where the cars had to be 12 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide, and 2 5/8 inches tall at the back. Aside from that, they were allowed to change the shape and design however they pleased. We then raced them at the end of the project in a bracket-style tournament to determine a winner.

Bremen bands performed well tonight in Bowen Auditorium!

Ever wonder why snow is white — or how to tell if it’s clean? ❄️ In Ms. Holmes’s first grade class, a student question during literacy sparked a hands-on investigation: students collected snow from around the school, observed their samples as they melted, and made discoveries together. We love science and curiosity-led learning!

Ms. Knisley’s Nutrition students enjoyed a little friendly competition during this week’s Cupcake Wars. Students were challenged to choose a theme, then create a backdrop that included six cupcakes decorated to blend with the theme. Judges volunteered to evaluate their work and as you can see they all did an amazing job! Great work guys!
