Brick Garden & Annual Dedication

 

THE SUNDIAL SOCIETY OF THE CLINTON CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT FOUNDATION  

Annual Brick Garden Dedication Ceremony- 

 
The Clinton Central School District Foundation’s Sundial Society held its Brick Garden
Memorial Celebration on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 at the garden. The dedication
ceremony followed the 9/11 Remembrance which began at 5pm. 17 bricks were dedicated
this year.
The Sundial Society was formed by the Foundation in 2007 to help oversee and maintain the
Garden. The garden, located on the school grounds near Chenango Avenue, dates back to
1993 when it was built to symbolize the loyalty and commitment of residents, students, and
alumni of the Clinton Central School District. Central to the garden is a sundial donated to the
school by the CCS class of 1950. Four commemorative benches enclose the area which
includes more than 900 engraved bricks honoring or memorializing persons or special events.
In 2016 an additional walkway was added, and more than 100 bricks were replaced due to
wear. An additional walkway has since been added as has a memorial flagpole. Each year the
garden continues to grow and serve the purpose for which it was established.
Membership in the Society is open to anyone. If interested in joining the Society, you may send
