Dedication and Ribbon Cutting will take place October 30th at 5:30 pm

THE REMEMBRANCE WALK
Our community has been given the opportunity to establish a very unique courtyard. Through the sale of both Memorial and Community-Sponsored Bricks, the Chieftain Remembrance Walk will become a permanent part of Tonganoxie High School. It will include a walkway consisting of bricks purchased by community members to commemorate a special date or sentiment, surrounded by bench and table seating and landscaping, leading to a large “T” of memorial bricks inscribed with the names of THS graduates, teachers, board members, and administrators.

 

THE BRICKS
There are two types of bricks available for purchase to support this project and memorialize a loved one.
The community-sponsored bricks, which will be placed in and around the walkway, can include any wording up to three lines of fifteen characters each. Feel free to dedicate them to your family, business, or graduating class, or include a favorite verse or meaningful date.
The memorial bricks, which will form the shape of a large T near the THS East building, may also hold three lines of up to fifteen characters each. These may be purchased in memory of any former student, teacher, staff member, board member, or administrator of the Tonganoxie School District.
Both types of bricks may be combined to hold more information, or grouped by family. You may also purchase an additional brick for your own use.

PURCHASING BRICKS
Each brick is $35, $20 of which is tax deductible. For purchase information or downloadable forms.
Forms are also available at any Tonganoxie school or in many local businesses.

Two years ago we had a devastating loss in our family. Our daughter's husband died. We knew that we wanted to honor his memory in some way. As time passed it became clear to us that we should form a community memorial site. That place is now a reality. Chieftain Remembrance walk will become part of the entrance to THS. The T letter will be formed with memorial bricks purchased to honor THS alumni, staff members school board members or administrators. Please allow the immediate family the privilege of ordering the memorial brick to be placed in the "T". You however, may honor the memory of your friend by purchasing a brick to be placed in the area surrounding the "T".

Community or commemorative bricks will form a walk way leading to the "T". these bricks can be purchased by the community at large to be inscribed with the name of a loved one, to honor their graduating class, a wedding date, etc. This will be a continuing project that all Tonganoxie family's can take pride in for many years to come, we have started selling bricks and will make it a continuing project.

Invite your friends and family to come take a Chieftain Remembrance Walk.
