Pave the Way for Future Generations by Purchasing a BES Brick for a Loved OneSupport BES by purchasing a brick for a loved one. This is a wonderful way to honor your child, grandchild, your family, and our school. All personalized bricks are located in the center of McCormick Hall for all the children to enjoy. This is a perfect location for the kids to look down and see their name in a brick, along with the names of their friends and classmates. Each brick can consist of up to 3 lines. There are 20 characters per line, which may consist of letters and spaces. Bricks are $75, and families can either download, complete, and scan the BES Brick Flyer to Stacy Nash or simply email her with the information requested from the flyer. Families will be billed through FACTS, and the deadline to purchase bricks is Friday, May 1, 2020. This is the last year we will include BES on the brick, so get in your orders today!
