9/11 Memorial at the High School

Once again the high school had a day of remembrance and service honoring the victims of 9/11. After school students volunteered to make sandwiches for the Mary Brenan Inn and that activity was followed by a ceremony at the Survivor Tree in the Reggie Carter commons area.  Emily Abrahams read a beautiful Poem and Allison Yarri told the story of the pear tree that survived the 9/11 attacks.  The students at the HS planted their own survivor tree as a memorial on the 10 year anniversary two years ago.  Over 200 students symbolically watered the tree in a silent processional.  Special thanks to Eileen Burke and Nancy Regan for organizing the event.
