By the way, Musaab was this year’s Class Valedictorian. It was an honor to have him apply to our scholarship program! Musaab was born in the U.S. and is of Jordanian descent. He’s also one of eleven Bremen students named as a 2018-2019 Illinois State Scholar.
Dr. Kibelkis mentioned that 18 students applied for our 3 scholarship, which he said was the most applications received for any scholarship program. We were pleased!
They truly earned them!
A comment from Bremen's principal...
Dr. David Kibelkis: “As Principal and Bremen Graduate Class of 1984 it makes me very proud to know that the Class of 1962 is giving back to their school and its current students. I hope you understand what a difference your donation in the form of a scholarship makes to our students at BHS.
For a student to be honored is exciting and allows one to know that you have achieved at a high level. Thanks for making a difference at BHS and showing your Pride!”
