In remembrance of September 11th and the 25th anniversary, Mrs. Kovacik’s Global Studies freshmen visited the September 11th Memorial sculpture located in front of the high school.
The memorial incorporates steel beams from the original World Trade Center buildings and was dedicated 15 years ago as a lasting tribute to those whose lives were impacted by the events of September 11, 2001.
The story behind the memorial is one of community and student creativity. Mr. Valenti, a high school social studies teacher, was instrumental in obtaining the World Trade Center artifacts. A design contest was then opened to students in grades 7–12, with Dakoda Ball’s design ultimately selected. Mr. Baumgartner, one of our high school technology teachers, helped transform Dakoda’s vision into the memorial that stands today.
Today, our students had the opportunity to learn about the significance of this memorial, reflect on the events of September 11th, and remember the lives forever changed by that day.
