Support
Our mission is made possible through support from generous donors and members of our Southwest Florida community. We would like to thank each and every one of you for helping us to provide our students with the services and educational opportunities that have made a positive difference in their lives. Because of you, we are able to help 145 bright, young minds to continue reaching for their goals.
Legacy Brick
We invite you to order a personalized, engraved brick that will be placed surrounding our school walkways. It’s a great way to honor family and friends, commemorate special occasions, or remember loved ones. The laser engraved pavers are guaranteed for life, with paint that never wears away. The bricks will be displayed with the De LaSalle logo along with your personal sentiments with others on the “Walk of Fame.” Each brick measures 8” x 4” with up to 3 lines and 15 characters per line. The cost of each brick is $125.
Be a part of the De LaSalle Academy legacy forever.
