Funds from the Fall Festival made it possible for PTO to help!

Physical Education students, Jessica Bollenbacher and Justin Baker, are pictured with the new plyometric boxes donated by the Bremen Parent-Teacher Organization. Pictured to the left is the old plyometric equipment. The new equipment provides better footing and will not cause shin injuries. The plyometric boxes are located in the BPS weight room and utilized by Physical Education classes in both the middle school and high school as well as many of the athletic teams. A big THANKS to Bremen's PTO!

Bremen PTO members would like to thank everyone who helped make the school fall festival a success!

Rhonda McIntyre came to the PTO with the idea of bringing back the Fall Festival to the school, she planted the seed. The seed flourished when discussing this with the past coordinators, Lisa Langdon and Luann Kolbe. Their excitement and their offer to help ignited PTO into action.

Calls were made to local churches for assistance with baking cakes, lots of them. They were more than willing. 10 cakes each from 8 churches, school staff and families helped pitch in too.

The goal was 100 cakes. Well over 100 cakes took their place on the table ready to go home with the lucky winner of the "Cake Walk". In the past, the most memorable game of the festival. It did not disappoint a new generation of children!

The cakes that were donated were absolutely amazing! Intricate fall or winter scenes, heart shaped cakes, with sprinkles, buttercream, German Chocolate, Bundt, etc. Some donors even decorated the cake boxes.

2 families uncluttered their homes and donated 250+ pieces of trinkets for the White Elephant booth. The 3rd graders who had been given a sneak peek were the first ones to raid this booth. It was the first booth to be wiped out.

Local organizations helped too. Some assisted with a game or two, others gave prizes or food.

The big food order was prepared by husband and wife team Eric and Kimberly Schied. Their assistance went well beyond the call of duty!

Key school and community contacts motivated their friends/groups to volunteer time with set up, to man a booth or to clean up afterwards.

It was wonderful to see Bremen come together!

PTO would like to thank everyone who helped make this a great event!

Please help Bremen PTO thank the donors and volunteers. Share a story, a picture of the cakes, send a shout out to a volunteer, etc.

Thank you!

PTO would like to send out a big THANK YOU to Tara Ton and Trentor Porter for their tremendous help on PTO last year. They are missed.

The new PTO Board consists of Maria Mikel, Lori Becker, Erika Leman, Cassie Creighton and Courtney Cheronne. PTO has a Fall Festival Committee consisting of Rhonda McIntyre (Chair), Luann Kolbe and Lisa Langdon.

PTO’s current wishlist:

1. Replace the aged bicycle rack
2. Entertainment for an assembly/convocation
3. Interactive Whiteboards for some classrooms
4. A redesign of the cement playground (one with US Map)
5. … and a number of student prizes for different classrooms

Our Fall Festival in early November will be our biggest event. We will reach out to the school, community, clubs, churches and parents to help with this family/community event.

Like to bake, we will need some treats for the famous Fall Festival “Cake Walk.”

Parents, consider donating “still packaged” toys or future tickets that you won’t be able to use.

Business owners: would you like to get customers into your business? Create 50 or 100 gift certificates for a 50% off or a free “this and that” and get 50 or 100 potential new customers in your doors. PTO will help create the certificates, if necessary.

There will be booths that will need volunteers too! Let us know how you are willing to help. And send us a message of “Yes, I will help!”

Thank you!
