A Pasemann tradition continues

Scholarships were very important to Naomi Pasemann. As a counselor, she helped many students apply for scholarships and even started a few herself.

So, when Pasemann Elementary opened in 1998-99, Mrs. Pasemann came up with the idea of starting the Pasemann Pennies Scholarship fund. 03/18/2023 07:26 AM
