Alumni Achievement: Amber Reed (teacher and '95 grad) and Matt VanSoest (‘04) are leading an innovative project in downtown Bremen called The Bremen Village Shops, an incubator marketplace for small businesses!

Join us in welcoming Taylor Lizzi back to Bremen in the role of Human Resources/Payroll Associate! Taylor is a 2014 graduate of Bremen High School. After beginning his professional career in financial accounts management, he founded Clean Cut Cleaners in 2019, a residential and commercial cleaning business serving the Michiana area that he continues to operate today. Alongside his business, Taylor serves as a Research Specialist for the Campus Victory Project, a nonprofit initiative based out of Arizona focused on philanthropic partnerships. Perhaps most visibly to the Bremen community, Taylor has served as an Assistant Coach for the Bremen High School Women’s Basketball program since 2020, following five years in the same role at Culver Girls Academy. He brings with him a proven track record in financial operations, team leadership, and the kind of work ethic this community recognizes and respects. In his words: “Bremen has always been home to me — it’s where I’ve built everything I have, and where I want to keep building. Getting to do that inside this school district is something I am extremely grateful and excited for.”

Sixth graders are enjoying their day at JA Biztown, where they get to practice real-world skills!

Thank you to board member Dr. Ginter for providing Baby Dragon BBQ for a staff lunch and IUSB for providing Travelin' Tom's coffee at the elementary today!

Join us in welcoming Jenn Huff, our Elementary Music Teacher starting in August! In her words: "In 2017, my family moved to Bremen, and I immediately fell in love with this community. Henry and I had so many adventures as we explored construction sites around the town and spent many hours at the library. After those wonderful years with my son and special moments teaching with my friends and colleagues at the Church of the Brethren Preschool, I am excited about this new chapter. I will be continuing my thirteen-year career in elementary music right here in Bremen. Joining Henry, Todd, and all of you as a fellow Lion is truly a dream come true. I am looking forward to inspiring an appreciation for music in young minds through music literacy, movement, and instrumental music. I cannot wait to share my love of music with my own fourth grader and all my other young Lions. Let’s enjoy music together!"

Come celebrate with us at the K–5th Awards Ceremony on Monday, May 18.

In her words: "I am truly honored to transition into the role of Multilingual Coordinator at BPS after six years of teaching 4th grade. As a proud Bremen graduate, I have especially loved spending the past three years teaching here and being part of such a supportive and dedicated community. I am excited to begin this new role and continue working alongside both students and teachers. Supporting our English Learners and helping all students feel confident, included, and successful is something I care deeply about. I look forward to collaborating with staff and connecting with families to ensure every student has the tools they need to thrive. Thank you for your continued support—I am excited for what’s ahead! Go Bremen Lions!!"

School Meal Account Reminders

To keep our food service program running smoothly, we ask all families to review their student’s lunch account status this week.

Quick Facts & Links:

Account Portals: Use Harmony Family Access to view balances and add funds.

Current Balances: Please ensure all accounts are kept in a positive standing. If your student’s account has a negative balance, payments can be processed immediately online or funds can be sent to the cafeteria office with your student.

Support & Assistance: We believe every child deserves a healthy meal. If your financial situation has changed, you may be eligible for the Free and Reduced Meal program. Applications are confidential and available online through Harmony.

We appreciate your partnership in making the cafeteria a great place for our kids to refuel!

From field trips to the science fair, our kids have been busy soaking up the end of the school year!
