Bremen High custodian recognized for summer facility projects; district converting storage into student necessities closet
Summary
Board heard a presentation highlighting Eugene Reyna, Bremen High School's chief custodian, for summer projects that added courtyard swings and refurbished a storage room into a private space to distribute necessities to students in need.
A board representative speaking for Bremen High School and Matt Mead highlighted Eugene Reyna, the school's chief custodian, for summer work that included installing swings in the courtyard and renovating an old storage room into a walk-in closet to provide clothing and toiletries to students.
The presentation described the courtyard as a student gathering space and said the senior class funded the swings. The converted storage room will serve as a private area where counselors or social workers can bring students to select necessities such as hoodies, winter jackets, gloves or toiletries; staff said the intent is to preserve student dignity while meeting basic needs.
The board representative credited Reyna with leading the projects, including sourcing materials and spending personal time to realize the vision. Staff also noted four student workers assisted over the summer on the site work.
This was reported as a recognition and facilities update; no formal board vote on the projects was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
