PORT ANGELES – The Port Angeles High School Dance Team Boosters want to pave the way to the auditorium.
The club is selling personalized bricks and stone blocks to install in the courtyard northwest of the campus performing arts center.
When performers line up outside to greet audience members after their final bows, “they are all standing in mud and grass,” said Vicki Hansen, president of the boosters club.
“We want to pave that area.”
Proceeds of the sale will go toward college scholarships for the 22-member dance team – the club provides scholarships of up to $500 for graduating seniors in dance class.
Bricks cost $30 each while stone blocks are $100 each.
The deadline to order is April 15.
Both bricks and stone blocks can be personalized with any message desired by the buyer, limited only by space.
There’s room for a total of 15 letters and spaces per line and a maximum of two lines per brick or block.
“It can say anything,” said Hansen.
“One person ordered a brick that had a quote about dance.”
Eventually, the group wants to pave the entire courtyard, said Cynthia Butz, vice-president of the club, “but we have to do it in sections.”
The sale is in recognition of the 10th anniversary of the Port Angeles High School Dance Team and the 50th anniversary of the high school’s auditorium, the women said.
To order a brick or block, or for more information, phone Hansen at 360-452-9593.
Orders – which must include the name of the purchaser, address, and a telephone or e-mail address, as well as a choice of brick or stone and an inscription –Â can be mailed to Dance Team Boosters, 1810 E. 4th St., Port Angeles, WA 98362.
Checks should be made out to Dance Team Boosters.
