Bremen High School: SENIORS and SENIOR PARENTS this is a reminder that the INvestED FAFSA help night is tonight at 6 pm. Please enter through door one and follow the signs to the location.. Reminder the deadline to file FAFSA is April 15th. All Seniors are required to file the FAFSA or have a waiver on file. Please see your counselor, Ms. King or Mrs. Witmer or the Guidance Secretary Mrs. Atkins with questions or concerns.
Just a reminder we still have numerous lunch accounts in need of funds. Recently We were offered a donation from a good samaritan to help pay down some of the delinquent lunch accounts, but unfortunately not all of them. If you or anyone would be so inclined to help ease the burdens of some of the families that are struggling in our community, we will gladly accept anything you have to offer anything helps and will not go unappreciated. The money will be split among the accounts that need it the most. However no matter the circumstances, ALL THE CHILDREN RECEIVE A MEAL AND ARE NEVER DENIED FOOD. Also as a reminder to parents, it is your responsibility to pay and keep your children's lunch accounts current. If you have any further questions or need assistance please reach out to Amy Stouder at astouder@bps.k12.in.us or (574)546-3554 Ext;2023
Bremen High School: SENIORS!!! Tomorrow there are lots of scholarships that are due. Please get them to Mrs. Atkins BY 3:15 NO later or complete the ones online by tomorrow at midnight. Dollars For Scholars is due April 1st and there is no extending this deadline. Finally, the scholarships through the Marshall County Community Foundation are due on March 29th. Any questions see your counselor or Mrs. Atkins in the Guidance office.
As I’m sure most of you are aware, when we return from spring break on Monday, April 8th our area will experience a near total eclipse, reaching its apex at approximately 3:12pm during our dismissal.
We are taking a multifaceted approach to ensure our students’ safety during this event. First, our teachers are providing science lessons regarding eclipses and the need to protect your eyes during such events. Additionally, we have purchased viewing glasses for all students that conform to ISO 12312-2 (the international standard for viewing glasses). We also ask that you discuss eclipse safety with your children and the importance of not looking at the sun without protection.
The reason why individuals can experience eye damage during these events stems from the fact that while much of the sun is obscured by the moon, there are still harmful UV rays beaming to earth. Since during an eclipse, the overall amount of visible light is reduced, our pupils expand to better enable our vision. While helpful for visible light, this also exposes the eye to much higher amounts of UV light which would otherwise be blocked by a constricted pupil causing damage to the retina.
With your help, we can have a great day of safe science education that our students will remember for a lifetime.
Yours in education,
Dr. Jim White
Proud Superintendent

Award Program
Bremen High School: SENIORS Our last FAFSA Completion Night is coming up on Monday, April 8th from 5 to 7 PM. The deadline to file is April 15 and ALL seniors are required to file this form. Seniors and families are encouraged to attend for FREE help in completing this crucial financial aid form. Experts from INvestEd will help you file the FAFSA with confidence while avoiding common mistakes.
Important note: there is a delay from the time the FSA ID is created until the family is able to use it (possibly 1-4 days). Therefore, we strongly encourage students and parents create this account well ahead of the FAFSA workshop. If you need help, you can use INvestEd’s "Creating your FSA ID" worksheet (attached) or call the BHS Counseling office.
