The pandemic has impacted us in many ways. Four junior students at Bremen High School wanted to find a way to reach out to their peers during this difficult time. 

They teamed up with the Bremen Interact Club and Club Sponsor Mrs. Arguelles, Mrs. Cravens (school social worker), and the District 228 Educational Foundation to send letters of encouragement, resources for self-care, prepackaged string & instructions to make a bracelet, stress balls, and hand sanitizer. 

 The students first mailed out “Invisible Inspirations” to AP and honors students in their junior class, but they are hoping to reach every Bremen student by the end of the year. 

If anyone wishes to support these young ladies, you may send a check made out to Bremen High School’s Interact Club to Bremen High School, 15203 S. Pulaski Road, Midlothian, IL 60445.
