Canaan Community Academy launches ‘1837 School Brick’ campaign

Canaan, In. — Canaan Community Academy is selling bricks from the 1827 school to create a student-designed walking labyrinth.

The community of Canaan has had an operating school since the early 1800s, the first being a log cabin. The third school was built in 1872 and sat in front of our school. The bell out front is from the 1872 school. It was demolished after our existing school was built. The bricks were dumped on a nearby farm. The bricks are being unearthed and will be used as part of a walking labyrinth that is being designed by CCA students.

If you sponsor a brick, your name or family name will be placed on the plaque. There are different levels of sponsorship:

  • Friend – $25. Name will appear on plaque.
  • Bronze – $100. Name will appear on plaque and receive social media recognition.
  • Silver – $250. Name will appear on plaque and receive social media and newspaper recognition.
  • Gold – $500. Name will appear on plaque and receive social media, newspaper, and radio recognition.
  • Platinum – $1000 and up. Name will appear on plaque and receive social media, newspaper, radio, and CCA website recognition. Platinum sponsors will also receive a special VIP invitation to the ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception.
