Remembering September 11, 2001. It was a sea of red, white, and blue on the front lawn of Barnum Woods School this morning as students and staff gathered together for a Patriot Day Ceremony, honoring those who were lost on 9/11 and thanking all of our 9/11 heroes. The Barnum Woods Principal, Mrs. Sagnelli, began the ceremony explaining the definition of a true hero. Mrs. Alfano, Assitant Principal at Barnum Woods, spoke of the bravery that the first responders demonstrated on this tragic day, and followed with a moment of silence. The Student Council President , Olivia, shared a beautiful poem, and the American flag was then lowered at half-staff. Tyler, the Student Council Vice President, led everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance followed by music teacher, Mrs. Hughes, singing an inspiring rendition of the United States National Anthem. The students and staff of Barnum Woods will never forget 9/11/01.
