Bremen Public Schools

Today, the Bremen Partnership announced that they received a record number of submissions and were able to award 23 grants to support our students, teachers and coaches! This brings the total number of grants awarded since program inception (Spring 2024) to 62, totaling nearly $47,000! Thank you to the Partnership and numerous individuals who have contributed to make this possible!

Alumni Achievement: Brenda Gonzalez ('06) "I am a first-generation, non-traditional student currently attending Indiana University School of Medicine. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences at IUSB and, God willing, will graduate with my Doctor of Medicine in May 2026 before beginning a Family Medicine residency. I was drawn to family medicine after witnessing the compassion and dedication of our local physicians who serve the Bremen community. Throughout my higher education, my amazing husband (Gustavo) and I have remained in Bremen. We are raising our four children here, two of whom attend Bremen Public Schools. We are deeply grateful for the support of our family and community. The education I received at Bremen Public Schools laid the foundation for my journey. I remember struggling with the English language and being encouraged by teachers like Mrs. Sheila Reed, whose belief in me as a fourth grader made a lasting impact. To anyone considering higher education, I would encourage you to trust God’s plan, remain persistent, and never doubt your calling. It is never too late to pursue the path placed before you."

Today is officially Boys & Girls Club Day in Indiana! Thank you to our club for all you do to help kids learn and grow.

Due to predicted early morning temperatures, we are on a 2-hour delay tomorrow (Monday, December 15th).

The 6-7 trend continues... A few months ago, our football team won a game with a final score of 6-7, and yesterday our girls basketball team won a game by scoring 67 points! If you don't know about the trend, ask any kid you know!

7th graders taking a break from screens and enjoying a day full of hands-on activites teamwork, and fun.

After two days of hard work on NWEA testing, our sixth graders are soaking up today’s Screen-Free Day! Classrooms are full of books, hands-on experiments, whole-class games, and creative writing—all powered by curiosity, collaboration, and conversation. Days like today are a great reminder of how meaningful learning can be without a screen.

On Monday, December 8, the Bremen Chamber Choir experienced a spectacular voice clinic led by Dr. Marin Jacobson, director of choral and vocal music at Valparaiso University, where she also serves as the Director of the Bach Institute and the Phyllis and Richard Duesenberg Chair in Lutheran Music. Dr. Jacobson's expressive and technical insights helped the choir refine the repertoire that they've prepared in the last four weeks, including Hallelujah from Handel's "Messiah", Shchedryk by Mykola Leontovych, and Wassail Song arranged by Robert Shaw and Alice Parker. Come see this excellent group in performance at one of their upcoming concerts alongside other local musicians and ensembles:

December 12 | 6:00 pm
Bremen Community and Performing Arts Center
214 E South St, Bremen, IN 46506

December 15 | 7:00 pm
Bowen Auditorium
511 W Grant St, Bremen, IN 46506

As part of our upcoming "Anxious Generation" Book Study initiative, we are having our first screen-free day tomorrow. While technology can be helpful, this is an opportunity for our classrooms to take a pause from screens to remind ourselves that learning, imagination, and fun don't need a screen to shine!

Would you or someone you know benefit from completing a GED, learning English as a Second Language, or completing a career training such as welding, building trades, HVAC, or automotive mechanics?

Lions Club prek is learning about our bodies and senses! Today the students read “Boots” and talked about how we dress our bodies for the cold and winter! They got to help Miss Sims get ready for the weather!

4th grade enjoyed watching Elf at the Wagon Wheel today! Driver Mandy Ward, who took kids to the show, reported that their behavior on the bus and at the venue was excellent.
