#DidYouKnow Brunkow Preschool is named after Charles F. Brunkow? He resided in Buena Vista Township and played a pivotal role in the development of the neighborhood where the school stands today. Brunkow served on the BV Zoning Board, and interestingly, his house still stands. To honor his memory, the Saginaw Community Foundation established the Charles F & Edith E Memorial Scholarship, which supports Buena Vista residents pursuing undergraduate/graduate degrees or Career and Technical Education (CTE) training. #SaginawISD
