There are just two more weeks to purchase the first bricks in a memorial to be built at David Jaynes Memorial Field.

The Bricks for Braves project is selling bricks to become part of a memorial plaza to be constructed this summer at the district stadium. The ongoing fundraiser is conducted by members of the high school booster clubs for both athletics and music, as well as for the BSHS Alumni Association.

Graduates, students and future students can purchase a brick at $45 for a standard size and $80 for a large “double” paver. A name and short message can be included in one of several fonts. There is also the option of selecting up to two icons representing a sport or academic activity at the school for free. Including the Bonner Brave logo costs an additional $5.

The memorial plaza will be built around the sign for the football field this summer as the district replaces its bleachers. In the future, the brickwork will continue on the north walkway toward the school, where the Warrior Walk takes place.

While Bricks for Braves will be a year-round fundraiser, those who would like their pavers to be the first in the plaza must buy their bricks by the end of May. Order forms are now available through the booster clubs and alumni associations and online at usd204.net/educationfoundation.
