These special bricks will be engraved with a name, date, and a shark (optional) and will be used to build a walkway to our athletic fields along with a brick welcome sign!  Not only will this make a great gift for 8th-grade students moving up to the high school, but it is a great way for families, businesses, and other supporters to get involved and show their pride in our school!  The funds raised will go directly back into school improvement projects with a focus on our outdoor areas and athletic fields.  Not only is this a money-maker but the bricks will be used to beautify our school grounds!  Be on the lookout for details to purchase soon.
