Last Day for Bricks!

Friday, January 12 is the last day to place an order to have your name or message forever immortalized in bricks that will line planter boxes in the Quad of Dixon High School. Did you have a child graduate here? (Birthday gift idea.) Do you serve in a club that wants to help and also be recognized in the effort? This is your last chance to get in your order. The bricks are $100 each and if you want to buy one as a gift, you can pay $10 more for a special certificate that will make a super gift.  If you wonder how to support the staff, students, and teachers at Dixon High School, the customized, sand-blasted bricks will be installed and will live on for years to come. Go to https://www.bricksrus.com/donorsite/dhspto or email [email protected] for more information.
