September 11 is designated as Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
Patriot Day was signed into law on December 18, 2001 as a day to remember those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on our country. In 2009, President Barack Obama signed a law that also makes September 11th a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
On September 11, all of our students observed a moment of silence before they said the Pledge of Allegiance to honor those individuals who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks. Later in the day, our fourth graders formed a human flag.
