Hanes Magnet Students Remember 9/11

On Monday, students at Hanes Magnet School participated in a 9/11 Rescue Remembrance event.

“Volunteers were on campus for grade-level assemblies highlighting the sacrifice of emergency rescue workers on 9/11,” wrote Andy Obermann, the school’s curriculum coordinator. “The event culminated with students having the opportunity to see a true artifact.  Rescue 4 (one of the first responder vehicles on 9/11) was on campus. This is one of two surviving vehicles from the attack.

“The powerful presentation was arranged by the group Rescue Remembrance. This was connected in our social studies classrooms through the driving idea of ‘how should we remember 9/11?’  Some classrooms asked students to interview parents. Others did research and shared in classroom discussion. Overall, the event engaged students in the values of respect and appreciation for the sacrifice of others.”
