Buy a Brick for Buttonball Lane School’s New Courtyard

Would you like to be immortalized at Buttonball Lane Elementary School?

The school’s Parent Teacher Organization is holding a brick fundraiser to raise money for the school’s new courtyard.

Interested parties can purchase a 4-by-8 brick for $50 or an 8-by-8 brick for $100 to support the building project, each of which can be engraved with a name or message. The smaller bricks contain three lines of upper case letters, with 15 characters per line (spaces and punctuation count as a character).  The 8-by-8 bricks has six lines.

The proposed project is set to provide the school a hands on outdoor classroom to be used for student gardening, bird watching and science activities. It will be an area for writers, artists and musicians to create, as well as a site for performances and school celebrations.

Plans also include gardens, picnic tables and a 100-seat amphitheater. The gardens will also include a “whimsical” garden shed built by local Eagle Scout candidate Connor Spencer.

Along with the fundraiser, the PTO is seeking grants for the project. For more information on the brick fundraiser, visit the school website.
