On-Campus - Help set up 9/11 Memorial for students
Wednesday, September 09 2026
Come help us set up our Field of Remembrance on the north field at school. Arrive by 3:25 pm and park, then meet in the field. Be sure to sign in and get directions. We encourage families to bring their teens with them to help. We hope students will gain a deeper understanding of what happened on 9/11 as they hear the stories and reflections of that day from the parents who are also helping to put flags in the display. STUDENTS MUST have a parent at the event to stay after and help! (Carpool groups can stay as long as the students work WITH the driver/adult). No unaccompanied students are allowed at this event. We should finish before 5:30 pm.
STUDENTS who will be staying will report to the CAFE' at dismissal. We will have cookies and snacks for them while the carline clears. STUDENTS will be joining us in the field at the 3:30 pm start time.
