The Jonathan Law Sports Booster Club uncovered 30 new personalized bricks to honor student athletes, coaches, and alumni in a ceremony on September 7.

The bricks were obtained by supporters of Jonathan Law athletics and the funds will go towards the athletic program to benefit all student- athletes.

“The donations from the Brick Garden fundraiser  benefits all Jonathan Law Students,” Judy Pincus, the President of the Sports Booster Club, said. “Last year we sponsored a fan bus to the first football states game, and we are paying for the sound system in the newly updated weight room.”

The brick walkway was on the field for a few decades, commemorating athletes and coaches dating as far back as the 1990s.

“The original walkway was put in about 20 years ago and no one really updated it for awhile,” Jonathan Law athletic director Mr. Sarullo said. “When the Sports Booster club came into existence a couple years ago they decided to start it up, so now they’ve been selling bricks and installing them for two years.”

The contributions provide assistance towards Jonathan Law sports teams.

“The money goes to the Booster Club,” Jonathan Law cross country coach Mr. Schulte said. “We could always request if we need something from the Booster Club.”

Jonathan Law athletics had a phenomenal year in 2018-2019. Each team made the playoffs for the first time in school history.

What each sports team strives for is making the postseason. Athletes and coaches work together to achieve this goal.

“Making the postseason has become a part of what each Law athlete works towards,” Angela Felag, the co-secretary of the Booster Club, said. “Our coaches here at Law have that same drive; they talk about making states from the start of each seasons.”

Jonathan Law continue to exceed in athletics and Jonathan Law wants to show their support in every way possible.

“I encourage everyone to support our athletes and all of our sports and clubs by showing up,” principal Mr. Thompson said. “When you come to a game, or any event, you show your support and your school spirit. That’s what we do.”

The ceremony encouraged other supporters to acquire their own bricks.

“We have a campaign running right now through November 1,” Pincus said. “For anyone interested in ordering a brick they can get an order from from the School Office or contact the booster club and we can send one to judybethpincus@gmail.com.”
