I'm so proud to announce that the Bremen High School Band once again qualified for the Indiana State School Music Association All-Music Award. This is 7th time in the last 10 years that Bremen has received this award.
This award is given to schools who show excellence in all parts of their band program by receiving a gold rating in marching band, group I solo/ensemble, jazz band, and concert band. This year, a little over 10% of Indiana high schools managed to achieve this honor.
Bremen Public Schools, the town of Bremen, and every single student should be incredibly proud of being among that 10%. Congratulations to everyone who had a hand in accomplishing this feat.
Wow!!! Our PTO has really outdone themselves with today's fun run activities!

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

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
