Yesterday, students at Marrs Elementary took part in a heartfelt 9/11 remembrance ceremony gathering outside around the flagpole to honor the lives lost in the September 11th attacks. With the American flag at half-staff, students recited the Pledge of Allegiance and observed a moment of silence as part of Patriot Day. According to a post on the school’s Facebook page, the ceremony was both solemn and meaningful especially for a generation not yet born when the attacks occurred. School leaders say they plan to hold this ceremony every year, hoping to instill a sense of history, respect, and remembrance in their students.
