Imagine driving by Tonganoxie High School, glancing over
and seeing a courtyard with a visible T created with memorial bricks.
Surrounding the T, you would see a pattern of bricks. These bricks would
display names of community members, groups, etc. To complete this courtyard,
picnic tables and benches would be placed to provide an outdoor common
area that could also be used for outdoor classroom space. The vision just
described to you will be known as Chieftain Remembrance Walk.
The inspiration for this unique courtyard sadly came from the death of
a brave young man. A legacy such as Chieftain Remembrance Walk,
would honor not only him, but many other alumni, teachers, staff members,
administrators and board members in our town of Tonganoxie.
Thanks to the generosity of several businesses and individual volunteers
we are well on our way to beginning this project. Because Chieftain
Remembrance Walk is a non-profit fund-raiser, we ask you to consider
a donation in the amount of your choosing to help towards the purchase
of tables and benches to complete this project. Your business name will
be added to the contributing donors plaque.
Without you and our other generous contributors a project as important
as Chieftain Remembrance Walk would remain just an inspiration.
We hope you will join us by mailing a contribution. You may also take
your donation to any branch of First State Bank & Trust. We have started
selling bricks and will make it a continuing project. Our goal for installation
and completion of the courtyard is Summer 2008.
