BGMEA CONTRIBUTES $200 TO CSF OF BGM

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM received a check for $200 from BGMEA (BGM Education Association). The BGMEA Scholarship is awarded each year to a student who is planning to go on to study in the field of teaching.

The BGMEA has made a contribution to the CSF of BGM every year the Foundation has been in existence. Education is important to our teachers. By their continued support in awarding a scholarship each year they are showing everyone that achieving a higher education is important. They are trying to make a difference. If we all pull together we can help make a difference in the lives of our students.

The Foundation is grateful to BGMEA for their continued support over the years. The Foundation is a community project everyone can be proud of. With your continued support our graduating seniors can pursue a higher education with a scholarship.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the Foundation please contact Lyle Oswood, Board of Trustee representative for the BGM Education Association, or any other board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
