Middle School Students Recognize 9/11
As Port Jefferson Middle School students settled into the first week of
school, they also took time to pause in honor of those affected by the
events of September 11.
Students were encouraged to share their patriotism by wearing the colors
of the American flag to recognize the courage of the first responders,
the ordinary people who became heroes and the families of those who lost
their lives on the day that is now part of our history.
“We want our students to understand the spirit of unity that occurred
after that tragic day,” said teacher Monica Consalvo. “As they were not
even born in 2001, it is important to know that the American vitality
still prevails.”
