Commemorating 9/11 in North Babylon School District

In recognition of Sept. 11, North Babylon School District honored and remembered the events of the day with numerous activities. Students and staff dressed in red, white and blue.  

At North Babylon High School, students did a reading about Sept. 11 and sang the national anthem. Belmont Avenue gathered outside in the front of the building to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, sing the national anthem, have a moment of silence and place individual flags to create a remembrance flag garden. Marion G. Vedder Elementary School also held a moment of silence to acknowledge the heroism of the first responders. Students and staff at Woods Road Elementary School wore red, white and blue and had a schoolwide assembly highlighting unity. 

Both Parliament Place Elementary School and William E. DeLuca Elementary School held outdoor gatherings by the flagpole with all students and staff. Following the Pledge of Allegiance and a patriotic song, they spoke about the events of that day and how service workers and the community came together. 

Robert Moses Middle School remembered 9/11 as eighth grade students visited the outdoor monument to listen to an eyewitness account from school psychologist Dr. Arale and an important message from social studies teacher Mr. Ventimiglia.
