Ms. McDonough’s 2nd graders took time today to honor and remember our 9/11 heroes. 🇺🇸❤️ This was part of our required instruction districtwide, as all students participated in lessons to ensure we never forget.

Mr. Daulby’s 4th graders stretched their math muscles today using the area model to multiply 1-digit numbers—breaking problems into parts to see the big picture! 👍

Remembering September 11, 2001

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the courage of first responders, and the resilience of a nation forever changed by the events of September 11, 2001.

In schools across our District, we take time to honor the significance of this day, ensuring our students understand the importance of unity, service, and compassion in the face of tragedy. As we reflect, we are reminded of the strength found in community and the enduring impact of coming together in support of one another.

We will never forget.
