Brandi Schweitzer Memorial Scholarship
Bradi Schweitzer Memorial Scholarship
In the world of education, there are teachers, and then there are exceptional educators who leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of their students. Brandi Schweitzer was unquestionably one of the latter. For 17 incredible years, she graced the P.E.G.S. program, sharing her unique gifts with countless children. In November of 2021 her life was unexpectedly cut short.
Mrs. Schweitzer was more than just a teacher; she was a beacon of love, understanding, and an unwavering belief in the potential of every child she encountered. Her ability to see the good in every child, regardless of their quirks or the challenges they carried, was nothing short of miraculous. In a world sometimes quick to judge and label, she stood as a shining example of unconditional acceptance and genuine care. Every child who had the privilege of being in her classroom was given the profound gift of self-belief. We hope through this scholarship, her light will continue to shine brightly, inspiring new generations to believe in themselves, just as she believed in them.
To the recipient of this scholarship, know that Mrs. Schweitzer believes in you above all else. She sees your worth, your potential, and your beauty, no matter how unique or unconventional. You matter, not because of what you achieve or who you become, but because of who you are, just the way you are. As a token of our heartfelt wishes for the recipient of the Brandi Schweitzer Memorial Scholarship, we invoke a spell from the magical world of Harry Potter, a series that Mrs. Schweitzer held close to her heart. With a wand raised high, we say:
"Ascendio Lumos"
May this spell illuminate your path to success and fill your journey with the same kind of magic and wonder that Brandi Schweitzer brought into the lives of all who were fortunate to know her.

Lindbergh Schools Foundation Dr. Mary Louise Zieger Scholarship

She earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Missouri Valley College in 1959, followed by a Master of Science in Education from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville in 1965, and ultimately, her Doctor of Philosophy degree from St. Louis University in 1969.
During her professional career, Dr. Zieger made substantial contributions to education and her community. From 1959 to 1967, she dedicated herself to teaching fifth grade at Sappington Elementary, taking a brief sabbatical leave from 1967 to 1968. Her commitment to education extended beyond the classroom when she served as an administrative assistant at The Middle School from 1968 to 1970, and later as assistant principal at Sperreng Middle School from 1970 to 1974. Her passion for teaching remained evident as she continued her career, instructing fourth grade students at Long Elementary until her retirement in 1997. In recognition of her dedication and impact, she was honored as a Lindbergh Distinguished Educator in the same year of her retirement.
Dr. Zieger often reminisced about a defining moment in her career when, during her final semester in college, she found a teaching contract from her preferred school district, Lindbergh Schools, waiting for her. This event marked the beginning of her remarkable 38-year teaching career at Lindbergh, during which she considered her greatest successes to be those moments when she witnessed her students truly understanding her teachings and developing a genuine love for learning.
In her post-retirement years, Dr. Zieger continued to serve her community with unwavering dedication. She was elected as a deacon and took on the role of Monitor of the Board of Deacons. Additionally, she devoted her time to teaching Adult Bible Study classes at Southminister Presbyterian Church, volunteering at the Affton Police Department by assisting in data entry to support officers in acquiring data for their patrol vehicles, and serving as a neighborhood watch captain for her subdivision. For seven and a half years, she selflessly volunteered at Nurses for Newborns, where she contributed to their intake department. During her time at Meramec Bluffs, she took on the role of a Wing Watcher, ensuring the well-being of residents on her wing who lived alone.
Dr. Mary Louise Zieger's remarkable life journey was characterized by her unwavering commitment to education, her community, and her unrelenting passion for making a positive impact in the lives of others. And, as a final testament to her commitment to education, her parting gift to the world was a scholarship fund, nestled within the Lindbergh Schools Foundation, ensuring that her passion for teaching lives on in future generations of educators.

They have a natural ability to make each person they are with feel like the most important person in the room. This person is wise beyond their years and has no desire to keep things status quo.
