🇺🇸 September 11, 2001: We Remember.

Today, there is something especially meaningful about watching another generation learn what our flag represents.

Did you know that our fifth-grade students are responsible for raising, lowering, and properly folding the American flag each and every school day?

They learn the entire process: from carefully unfolding it and raising it each morning, to lowering it and properly folding it at the end of the school day.

It may seem like a small daily responsibility, but it represents something much bigger: Respect. Responsibility. Service. Remembrance.

Our fifth graders weren’t alive on September 11, 2001. They know 9/11 through the stories we tell and the history we teach.

That makes it our responsibility to remember: and to help them understand why we do.

Today, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, the families forever changed, and the unity and patriotism that followed.

And come Monday, the fifth graders will raise our flag again. 🇺🇸
