Remembering 9/11: 10 Year Anniversary
The tragic events of September 11, 2001 changed the U.S., and the world, forever. For those who were old enough to watch those events unfold, that day and the aftermath of the attacks has left an indelible mark. For those too young to remember, the legacy of 9/11 shapes their lives as a central event in history.
Many schools wish to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of September 11, 2001, and find ways to honor and remember those who lost their lives. We offer this guide for students to learn about the events of this day.
