Continental School Celebration Plaza

& Annual Washington D.C. Trip Fundraiser!

Celebrate Continental School’s over 100 years of school spirit by buying a personalized engraved brick for our “Celebration Plaza” and help support our annual Washington D.C. trip benefiting our graduating 8^th graders!

Who Can Participate?  All the Community!

8^th Grade Graduating Class—First and foremost, we want every student in our current 8^th grade graduating class to leave their mark as a Continental Colt with their name on a brick, the year of their graduation, and a clip art of their choice.

All Continental School Alumni—We really want all Continental School students from the last 100 years to add their names to our plaza along with the year of their graduation. So, spread the word and let them know!

Teachers, Staff, & Family Members—Our Celebration Plaza would not be complete without our teachers and staff, including all former alumni. We also want all our family members, wherever they may be and who want to be part of our school spirit, to join in the celebration.

Friends of Green Valley/Sahuarita & Local Businesses—We would love all friends and businesses of our Green Valley/Sahuarita community, whose support makes our school such a success, to be part of our plaza!

Frequently Asked Questions 

How Do We Get the Bricks?—All bricks will be delivered directly to the school and placed into the plaza by our civics club.

Grand Opening of the Plaza—We will be having a grand opening for the Celebration Plaza sometime during the first week of school.  We will notify everyone by e-mail of the day and time.

Donation Profits—All profits from the sale of the bricks will go directly to our school’s civics club as part of our annual fundraising efforts to send our 8th graders to the nation’s capital, Washington D.C.!

(*Special Note this Year—All profits this summer will go to help in the building the Celebration Plaza.  The fundraising for the D.C. trip will resume in October when the website opens up again for ordering.)

Over 20 Years Going to Washington D.C.—Our 8^th graders have been going to D.C. for more than 20 years, and hope to go for many more.  For many of our students, this is a trip of a lifetime. They earn this trip with hard work by raising money in numerous student fundraisers throughout the school year.  With your extra support, we can help them achieve this amazing goal.

Special Gift to Our 8^th Graders this Year—Due to the Covid-19 situation this spring, our 8^th graders, who worked so hard for their D.C. trip, were denied the opportunity to go to our nation’s capital.  We are still hoping that we can do a special trip for our 8^th graders when it is safe to do so.

As a special graduation gift, our Continental Foundation graciously offered to buy each 8^th grader a brick as a graduation present.  We will have a total of 75 bricks representing the entire 2020 8^th grade class.  A BIG THANK YOU to our Continental School Foundation!

Spread the Word & Order Today! 

Please share in the enduring spirit of our wonderful local school.  Become part of its living legacy and find, on the bricks of our Celebration Plaza, the names of every student, teacher, family, friend, community member, and business that you know.

We are the Continental Colts &

We’ll be Going Strong for Another 100 Years!
