Brehm participates in For Kids' Sake fundraiser

This fall, Brehm participated in the For Kids' Sake fundraiser.

For Kids' Sake is a comprehensive fundraising program that supports orphanages and schools in Bangladesh.

From October 6-15, Brehm students collected spare change for the fundraiser, which helps more than 3,000 school children and orphans Bangladesh.

Another way Brehm students are helping their peers in Bangladesh is by participating in the 11th annual For Kids' Sake Art Show and Silent Auction. Brehm has been participating in this event since 2000.

This heart-warming event auctions children's artwork from Southern Illinois and Bangladesh, and all of the proceeds go to support the Bangladeshi children.

This year, the Art Show will be on display from November 12 - December 10 at nine local businesses, including: Longbranch Coffeehouse, White and Borgognoni, Thai Taste, Global Gourmet, Arthur Agency, Town Square market, Hair Brains, Harbaughs' and Tres Hombres.

What is Brehm?

Brehm is an accredited junior-senior high school. A family style boarding school for students, grades 6 through 12, with complex learning disabilities.

OPTIONS Program at Brehm serves post high school students with learning disabilities who need to further develop academic and social skills required for success in college, vocational/technical school, and the workplace.

Brehm Preparatory School Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, offers a unique holistic program that individually addresses each student’s academic, emotional, and social needs.

Brehm uses the term “complex” learning disabilities in recognition that students experience difficulties in multiple areas of functioning. Brehm’s holistic program focuses on the combined academic, social and emotional effects of having a learning disability.

Our students often have multiple diagnoses affecting their performance with the core issue of having a language-based etiology. We recognize the combined effects of LD/ADD, language based processing issues, executive function issues and the social and psychological implications of not being successful in an academic environment. Brehm offers direct interventions for students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, NLD, aspergers, anxiety disorder, tourettes, auditory processing disorder, speed of processing disorders and interventions requiring behavioral and emotional support as it relates to academic issues.
