Legacy Wall
| |
Many have taken the opportunity to be a  part of Legacy Wall by purchasing an engraved brick. You have the opportunity today to be a part of a legacy at North Florida Christian School. You may be a current student, family member, or alumni of North Florida Christian School; Legacy Wall gives you an opportunity to leave a legacy on campus. Over the last week, I have heard many stories about why people are buying their bricks. Some remember their time as a student at NFC, some are creating a memory of a loved one, and others are celebrating a championship season or team. Visit http://www.nfclegacy.org/buyabrick.aspx to see examples of specific engraved bricks, and to purchase your brick. Hearing all the stories, has created excitement as we work towards adding to Legacy Wall and the finished product of the new Athletic Center.
