School officials say the final brick giveaway will be held from noon to 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10, at the OASD Maintenance Building on 1404 South Main Street.
This will be a drive-up style distribution, and those planning on coming to grab a keepsake brick are asked to turn onto East 14th Avenue and exit via Pioneer Drive.
Unlike the distributions held in the past, there will not be a one-brick limit, however, those asking for a large number of bricks may be asked to come back at the end of the distribution to allow a chance for every community member to receive a keepsake brick.

1,000 bricks were said to be harvested and cleaned from the most historical part of the building for the community distribution.
Along with the keepsake bricks being given to the community, many bricks were carefully salvaged and are being preserved for the currently under-construction Merrill Memorial Corner at the former Merrill site.
