In classrooms throughout the Three Village Central School District, teachers, students, and administrators took time on Sept. 11, 2009 to remember those lives lost during the tragedy that took place eight years earlier. Some teachers utilized the day as a teaching moment in classes, while others observed the date with a moment of silence.
At R.C. Murphy Junior High School, students, faculty and staff gathered to observe the historic day.
"September 11th is a national day of remembrance," said Assistant Principal Patrick DiClemente. "At Murphy today we recognize the significance of this day and celebrate the importance of this moment."
In silence, the students reflected on the lives of the many family members, friends, and Americans that lost their lives on 9/11/01. Select members of the ninth-grade chamber choir, under Director of Music Anthony Pollera, sang a moving rendition of "God Bless America."
The memorial celebration at Murphy was coordinated by the building's student government, advised by Brian Pickford. In addition to encouraging their peers to wear red, white, and blue, the student government members presented each student and staff member with a flag pin and asked them to wear it proudly throughout the day.
