Ms. Perez's class honored Patriot Day by making memorial ribbons and learning all about the different heroes of 9/11.
Mr. Medina's class learned about Patriots’ day and the events of September 11. They got to remember Welles Crowther (a September 11 hero) by wearing a red bandanna. Welles was a volunteer firefighter that worked in the 104th floor of the World Trade Center. When the first tower got hit, Crowther started to evacuate groups of people. He saved 18 people that day and was only recognized by his red bandanna that he carried with him. Students also had the opportunity to watch the annual memorial as the my made a Patriots’ day craft.
We talked about Patriot Day today and students made paper ribbon crafts to recognize those lives lost and all of the brave people who stepped in to help one another 23 years ago today.
