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 patriot. 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 , Massimo, shared a beautiful acrostic poem describing the word hero, and the American flag was then raised for the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Jordana, the Student Council Vice President. The flag was then lowered at half-staff, and music teacher, Mrs. Hughes, along with her fifth grade Brioso, sang an inspiring rendition of the United States National Anthem. The students and staff of Barnum Woods will never forget 9/11/01.
