Today we remember September 11th. On this day, our country pauses to look back, remember, and honor the thousands of innocent people who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001.

We also remember the incredible bravery of the first responders—the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and everyday citizens—who ran toward danger to help others.

While this day reminds us of a sad time in history, it also reminds us of how people came together with kindness, strength, and unity to help one another heal. Today, we can honor their memory by lifting each other up and showing extra kindness to our classmates and teachers.
