Some of our students got to remember September 11th in a very special way. Photos courtesy of Mrs. Wagstaff’s 4th grade class. "This morning, I read the book, 'This Very Tree' (a story of 9/11, Resilience, and Regrowth), to my 4th grade family. Afterwards, the students wrote thank you notes to our local Fire Department. I recently dropped off our 'Thank You' book. My students are going to be excited to see the photo of firefighters."
