Millennium Courtyard
A message from the Colonial
Athletic Boosters...
Do you want to share in a
great TJ Tradition? Purchase an engraved brick to be installed in the
Millennium Courtyard! The Millennium Courtyard at TJ is a wonderful
opportunity to honor and memorialize your TJ experience. The courtyard
continues to expand, and we invite you to be a part of this great tradition.
The Millennium Courtyard is
located in the front of the school between the cafeteria and the library. It
was designed to provide a campus-like setting where students, faculty,
administration and visitors to the school can gather to study, relax and
socialize. It features an interior brick courtyard with a raised brick seat
wall and brick walkways. The former picnic tables have been relocated and
the area has been landscaped. The project is funded by the tax-deductible
sale of engraved bricks, which are incorporated into the paved interior
courtyard and walkways.
The courtyard currently
features hundreds of engraved bricks representing over 20 different
graduating classes. The walkways leading to the courtyard have been "dry
set," enabling the replacement of regular bricks with engraved bricks in the
future. When you visit the school, stop by and see the beautiful results.
The bricks may be engraved
with up to three lines of text and two emblems reflecting and celebrating
your achievements, activities, character, and friendships. Visit the
courtyard and see the unique collection of emblems available and get ideas
for designing your brick. The cost of an engraved brick is $60; each emblem
is $15.
