Remembering September 11

September 11 is a day that our nation will never forget. The LIS Student Council sponsored a spirit day and requested that 4th grade wear red, 5th grade wear white, and 6th grade wear blue to represent the colors of the flag.

During morning announcements, our students were asked to postpone the pledge of allegiance and to conduct an emergency evacuation drill in complete silence as a tribute to those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

It was truly awe-inspiring to watch over 1,000 students and staff walk through the building and out onto the fields in silence. After students were assembled outside, our Student Council officers led us in a solemn salute to the flag.

Our Character Education theme this month is respect. We are proud of our students and staff for their respectful silence this morning. Thanks to all who participated.
