🇺🇸Mrs. Utech’s U.S. Government students remember the 25th anniversary of September 11th, 2001.
Throughout the lesson, students learned about the historical context of global terrorism, reviewed the timeline of events on this day 25 years ago, honored the selfless actions of first responders and civilians, and examined the domestic and global response in the aftermath. At the end of the lesson students created a wall of remembrance for the 2,977 civilians and first responders who died.
We will never forget.
