Bremen Public Schools

Alumni Achievement: Jenna Pfeiffer ('12) has been busy traveling the world since graduation. Here's a summary in her words. "After graduating from BHS in 2012 I went on to be an All-American heptathlete at Baylor University. I graduated with my masters in accounting and now specialize in forensic accounting consulting. After college I moved out west and started pursuing climbing, backcountry snowboarding, and mountaineering! This past June, after years of preparation, I accomplished my biggest life goal to date — an unguided climb and partial snowboard descent of Denali, the tallest mountain in North America! I feel very privileged and blessed to have had the opportunity to grow up where I did. Despite all the places I’ve been in the world nothing beats good ol’ Bremen!"

Ms. Browning’s Organic Chemistry class recently took an exciting field trip to Lebermuth Company to learn more about the real-world applications of esterification — the chemical process behind creating esters. Students discovered how esters play a vital role in producing the pleasant scents and flavors found in perfumes, candles, foods, and many other products.

The visit gave students a firsthand look at how chemistry connects to everyday life and industry innovation.

The experience was both educational and inspiring, showing students how organic chemistry can lead to creative and meaningful careers in science and manufacturing

Alumni Achievement: Allen Molebash ('53), attended Butler University, where he earned his degree in pharmacy. After completing his studies, Al returned to his hometown of Bremen to begin his career at Summy’s Pharmacy. His dedication to the community and passion for helping others quickly became evident, and in time, he purchased the business—renaming it Allen’s Pharmacy. Al especially enjoyed when Bremen athletes would stop by after practice, gathering around the soda fountain to talk and laugh together. Beyond his professional life, Al is a devoted Bremen supporter and longtime fixture at football games, where he played his trombone from the stands to fire up the crowd. His school spirit ran so deep that he even purchased Bremen’s first lion mascot costume, helping bring extra pride and excitement to every game. This Saturday, Al celebrates his 90th birthday, marking not only a remarkable milestone but also a lifetime of service, school spirit, and love for his hometown.

The 10th Grade English Honors class recently completed a project where they had to rewrite a Fairy Tale. In class, a central topic has been about the fact that Grimm's Fairy Tales were not always "appropriate" for children, even though most people think of "fairy tales" as stories for children. So, the assignment was to omit content such as violence and scary situations and replace them with silly or spontaneous events and circumstances to make the story more palatable for children (kinda like what Disney has done). Their results were outstanding! They had a chance to read to Mrs. Moser's 3rd-grade students on Tuesday and again on Wednesday to the kindergarteners in Mrs. Corwin's class. Everyone had a great time. Here are some photos of the students reading to Mrs. Corwin's students.
