REQUEST FOR CLASSROOM
ASSIGNMENTS
Because of our commitment to equitable in-
structional groups for all children, parent re-
quests for a specific teacher are discouraged,
and can never be guaranteed. However, we
realize that at times there may be valid educa-
tional reasons for making requests. With this
in mind, requests must be made using the offi-
cial Request for Classroom Assignment Form.
The form must be picked up from the school
office and must be submitted to the school
office on or before April 20, 2018. The educa-
tional rationale for this request must be listed
on the form. Because teachers have a respon-
sibility to create equitable classes, parent re-
quests cannot always be kept confidential. If
you are unable to stop by the office during reg-
ular school hours, please send a request for
the form in writing with your child.
ISTEP DATES
Testing dates are listed below. Please avoid
scheduling appointments if possible on these
very important dates. Thanks for your coopera-
tion!

NEW SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED IN HONOR OF MARK WAGNER
NELSON’S FUNDRAISER SCHEDULED APRIL 21 With the passing of Mark Wagner, one of Bremen’s much-loved treasures, local volunteers have joined together to establish the Mark Wagner Memorial Scholarship through the Bremen Dollars for Scholars organization. The scholarship will be awarded annually to a Bremen graduating senior. This year, Bremen Dollars for Scholars will award two $1,000 scholarships in Mark’s name with the help of anonymous donors. On Saturday, April 21, Bremen Dollars for Scholars will host a Nel-son’s Port-A-Pit fundraiser for the fund at two locations: Woodies Parking Lot and at the Sunnyside Park tennis courts from 10 am-2 pm. Cost: $7 per half chicken. Bremen Boys and Girls tennis teams will be selling pre-order tick-ets, or tickets can be purchased at Miller Insurance Group, down-town Bremen. One-hundred percent of proceeds will go to the Mark Wagner Scholarship Fund. If you prefer to donate directly to the fund, donations will be ac-cepted at the fundraiser or checks payable to Bremen Dollars for Scholars may be mailed to: P.O. Box 144, Bremen, IN 46506, with a notation for the Mark Wagner Scholarship Fund.
PONY LEAGUE BASEBALL Pony League Registration is now open at
www.bremenbaseball.com for 13-16 year-olds. The cost is $70 but no payment is needed to register at this time as we gauge interest.

REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE ON SATURDAY, APRIL 28TH. More information is available on the website.

Marshall County Junior Golf Tour 2018
The 38th year of the Marshall County Junior Golf Tour includes 7 tournaments and will begin on Monday, June 4th at Woodbury Golf Course (formerly Plymouth Rock). Boy’s age groups are: 9 & under (play 6 holes), 10-12 (play 6 holes), 13-15 (play 9 holes), and 16-18 (play 18 holes). Girl’s age groups are: 9 & under (play 6 holes), 10-12 (play 6 holes), 13-15 (play 9 holes), and 16-18 (play 18 holes) Parents are welcome and encouraged to walk and help monitor play as well as record and verify scores, but will not be allowed to coach or provide cart rides during the events. All children ages 12 & under will receive an award at each event. Contestants may choose to compete at an elevated age group but not a lower age group than his/her age. Proper golf attire (collared shirt or jacket) is required along with proper bottoms. No denim or gym shorts please! *POINTS SYSTEM (format used to determine season champions): There are 7 tour events but only the player’s best 5 point total finishes will be used to determine the season champion in each division. First place for each event is equal to the number of participants playing on each date in his or her division, not to exceed 10 points; second place is half the number of participants; third place is one point less than second, etc. Example 10 participants 1st=10 points, 2nd=5 points, 3rd=4 points, 4th=3 points, 5th=2 points, 6th-10th=1 point. Ties for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will be broken by sudden death holes, putt-offs, or chip-offs. All other ties will be decided by the last hole played. Division champions will be presented awards at the final tour stop, Swan Lake Resort, on Wednesday, June 27th.

2018 Rules Page
Rules for Boys and Girls 16-18, as well as Boys and Girls 13-15 Age Groups ● Out of Bounds Rule: All Out of Bounds stakes; red, white, yellow or any other, will be played as a lateral hazard.
Please decided with your playing partners where you think it crossed the hazard and drop a new ball one club length from the decided location.
● Double Par+ Rule: Max shots from tee to green is double par. For Par 3’s this is 6, Par 4’s this is 8, and Par 5’s this is 10. If you have hit your 6th/8th/10th shot and the ball is still not on the green, pick it up and place it on the front of the green. Your first putt will be your 7th/9th/11th stroke and you will continue until the ball is in the hole.
● Parent Rule: Parents are not allowed to provide advice about non-rule related issues and cannot offer you a ride in their cart or carry your bag in their cart. You must push, pull, or carry your own bag at all times. It is suggested that parents stay about 100 yards ahead of play so that they can assist with finding lost balls when necessary. There is also a 3 minute limit for searching for a lost ball.
● Unplayable Lie Rule: If your swing is obstructed by a man-made object or something else out of your control, such as a large branch, and everyone in the group agrees, take one club length without penalty and continue playing.
● Swing & Miss Rule: If you take a legitimate swing at the ball, not a practice swing, it does count toward your total for the hole.
● Ready Golf Rule: Golf etiquette dictates that the person furthest away from the hole “goes next,” but to speed up play we don’t need to follow this etiquette except when putting.
● Par 3 Courtesy Holes: On Par 3’s, if a group is on the tee behind you, mark your ball once you get on the green, get out of the way and let the next group tee off, then you can putt out after they’ve hit. Mark and replace their golf balls, if necessary.
Rules for Boys and Girls 9 & Under, as well as Boys and Girls 10-12 Age Groups ● Out of Bounds Rule: All Out of Bounds stakes; red, white, yellow or any other, will be played as a lateral hazard.
Please decided with your playing partners where you think it crossed the hazard and drop a new ball one club length from the decided location.
● Double Par+ Rule (Ammended): Max shots from tee to green is 8. If you have hit your 8th shot and the ball is still not on the green, pick it up and place it on the front of the green. Your first putt will be your 9th stroke and you will continue until the ball is in the hole.
● Parent Rule: Parents are not allowed to provide advice about non-rule related issues and cannot offer you a ride in their cart or carry your bag in their cart. You must push, pull, or carry your own bag at all times. It is suggested that parents stay about 100 yards ahead of play so that they can assist with finding lost balls when necessary. There is also a 3 minute limit for searching for a lost ball.
● Unplayable Lie Rule: If your swing is obstructed by a man-made object or something else out of your control, such as a large branch, and everyone in the group agrees, take one club length without penalty and continue playing.
● Swing & Miss Rule: If you take a legitimate swing at the ball, not a practice swing, it does count toward your total for the hole.
● Ready Golf Rule: Golf etiquette dictates that the person furthest away from the hole “goes next,” but to speed up play we don’t need to follow this etiquette except when putting.
● Water Hazard Rule: If you hit a ball in the water, do not hit over the water again, walk to the other side of the water and hit from there. You will still be assessed a penalty stroke and be allowed to drop a ball one club length from the hazard.
● Bunker Rule: Max shots out of a sand trap is 3. If you have taken 3 attempts and can’t hit it out, take the ball out and place it in the grass next to the bunker and continue playing. There will not be a penalty stroke assessed for this.
● Individual Stroke Rule: You are allowed to roll the ball no more than 6 inches, without changing the cut (a ball in the rough must stay in the rough, etc) on each shot that is not on the green. This does include the fringe, you can roll the ball on the fringe even if you are going to putt the ball.
