Business Class Trip to BGSU

• Finance: It's About Having a Plan and Knowing the Risks to Building Your Future Wealth
• Selecting the Right College: Getting the Right An-swers Without Even Knowing the Right Questions

• Communication Skills for Success!

Students also listened to Dr. Gene Poor, a college professor at BGSU and business entrepeneur.  Dr.  Poor has had a long history of starting his own businesses, as well as helping others start their own enterprises.  One of his business enterprises, LifeFormations, Inc., has become a world leader in the creation of lifelike figures and dioramas for museums, visitor centers, retail outlets, and theme parks. LifeFormations is considered a leading force in the creation and evolution of animatronic figures.

 

Students also had the opportunity to meet and work with students from other schools.  The day was an enjoyable and educational experience for everyone!

Fire Prevention Week

October 8-12 was Fire Prevention Week.  On Friday, members of the New Bremen Fire Department visited New Bremen Elementary to present to our students the importance of fire prevention and fire safety.  Their message for students was to remember was 3-2-1.  Three beeps of the smoke detector, two ways out, and one meeting place!  The kindergarten students enjoyed seeing the fire truck up close and operating the hoses.  Thank you to NBFD!
