Today we take a moment to commemorate a day that changed the course of history for our nation and the world. Twenty-two years ago, on September 11, 2001, our country faced a tragic and devastating event when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Today, we stand together as a school community to pay our respects to the victims of September 11th, their families, and all those who have been affected by acts of terror around the world.
