It’s Not Too Late to Get Your Piece of East Side! -19 August 2011

If you haven’t already ordered your brick from the original East Side school building, you still have a chance to own a piece of East Side history.  The East Side Foundation salvaged 300 bricks from the demolition and is selling them for $25.00.  The bricks will have a gold plaque affixed to them that has Ms. Mavity’s sketch of the old school and the dates that the school was open.  It is a great way to remember the time your family spent as part of the original East Side.  There are only about 115 bricks remaining, so if you’d like to order one, please send an e-mail to ESEBricks@gmail.com and include your name, phone number, email address, number of bricks you’re buying and yes/no that you’re a current East Side family.  You can pay when you pick up your brick (pick up details to follow at a later date). Thanks for your support of the Foundation!
