Teachers visited Mr. Hagerty’s junior class to describe their own experiences and memories from September 11, 2001. Speakers included Ms. Abercrombie, Mr. Martin, Ms. Breitman, and Ms. Grant. The visitors spoke about their memories of the day and its aftermath and their thoughts about how the terrorist attack has affected our society since then. For many students who were born since the event, the personal experiences help illustrate the intense emotions associated with this historic event and help them understand the context and aftermath of the incident. Later in the year Mr. Hagerty’s class will travel to Shanksville, Pennsylvania to see the site of the downed fourth plane.
