❤️🤍💙On this 24th anniversary of September 11th, we're honored to share how 40 Grassfield High School students visited the Flight 93 National Memorial this past May. Thanks to the generous support of The 9:57 Project and the Gary Sinise Foundation, students experienced powerful lessons about courage and service that go far beyond any textbook. They didn’t just learn history, they connected with it.

Today, we remember and honor the 40 heroes of Flight 93 and all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

📹 Watch our students and teachers share their reflections from this meaningful visit: https://youtu.be/KbYiWx3rEf0
