Calling All Bridge School Alums! Here's your chance to leave a permanent mark at Bridge Elementary School

Calling all Bridge School Alums to participate in Legacy Brick Project.

Bridge School is celebrating the completion of its 3-year Renovation and its approaching 50-year anniversary!   We are planning to construct a new brick walkway and seating area in front of the school this summer and are inviting all 50 graduating classes to "leave their mark" by purchasing an engraved brick to be installed in the walkway.   Our objective is to create a new "Gathering Place" for families and friends while commemorating the past, present, and future of Bridge School.

Special Incentive:  For any graduating class that purchases 10 or more individual bricks, we will donate a capstone 8" x 8" Premier Brick that marks your graduating class year (and any other saying) engraved on it.  Example, "Class of 1978: Happy Days Are Here Again!"

This initiative will help the Bridge PTA fund its efforts to support technology improvements, teacher grants, and other ongoing programs central to its mission.

Custom engraved bricks may be ordered in 2 sizes by May 15, 2014 and will be incorporated into the walkway this upcoming summer.   For more info. on ordering, and to view the architectural drawings of the Gathering Place, visit http://bridgeptsa.lexingtonma.org/Committees/Fundraising/brick.php .  For more information, email Josephine Atluri at bridgelegacybrick@gmail.com .
