Honoring those who lost their lives and the heroes who responded by teaching this history to our students who weren't born yet. Pictured here are students in Mr. Lakemacher's class making remembrance posters and reflecting on the tragic events that we promised to Never Forget. Today we remember the innocent lives lost, and the many lives that were forever changed on Sept. 11, 2001.
