On May 13, 2024, the sixth graders were taken on a field trip to the Flight 93 National Memorial. They also stopped at Patriot Park, a park filled with 7,054 flags dedicated to the lives lost during the War Against Terror.
At Flight 93, the students walked from the wall of names at the bottom of the memorial to the visitor center where they listened to the phone calls passengers had made. The students also found the name Welles Remy Crowther, a civilian-turned-hero during the attacks of 9/11.After going to the visitor center, the students returned to their respective buses and were transported to the Tower of Voices.
At the Tower of Voices, the students all sat down and reflected. They were courteous to those around them and remained quiet and respectful. Many of the students had their phones with them, and they took a picture of one of the QR codes to be able to hear the wind chimes.
When arriving at Patriot Park, the students all got into six groups and walked with their teacher or volunteer to the main part of Patriot Park. Most of the students went to the list of names immediately to try to find a name of a relative or family-friend. There were boards of information made up by high school students from all over multiple counties.
Overall, this trip was very educational. Every student learned something new. I feel that it gave everyone the opportunity to learn more about our country and its history.
The Federal Aviation Administration has given school districts in the area the opportunity to take a free training course in becoming a drone pilot.
