Today, our South Fork High School community wore red and stood together to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. On this 25th anniversary, we remember the individuals whose lives were cut short, the families forever changed, and the first responders and everyday heroes who showed extraordinary courage in the face of tragedy.
For our students, September 11 is a part of history they did not experience firsthand. As educators and a school community, we have a responsibility to help them understand its significance—both the profound loss and the compassion, service, and unity that brought people together in its aftermath.
This photo captures a simple but meaningful act of remembrance from our Bulldog family. May we honor those we lost through the kindness we show, the ways we serve, and the care we extend to one another.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
#NeverForget #September11 #SFHS #BulldogBuilt #BeMoreBeABulldog
Ms. Normalicia Fernand brings more than 20 years of combined experience in education, administration, and student support, including most recently teaching kindergarten and special education first grade.
🌎 Her love of languages, Spanish, and Hispanic cultures has shaped her passion for teaching. With a multilingual background in English, Spanish, German, and American Sign Language (ASL), she draws on her linguistic knowledge and personal language-learning experiences to help students build confidence and proficiency in Spanish.
💬 She believes learning a language opens doors to new experiences, connections, and opportunities, and she looks forward to helping her students discover what they can achieve through Spanish.
#BulldogBuilt #BeMoreBeABulldog #SFHS
Tomorrow, Friday, September 11, we invite all Bulldogs to wear red in remembrance of 9/11.
Together, we remember and honor those whose lives were forever impacted.
#SFHS #NeverForget #BulldogBuilt
