A Day of Rememberance

Today we remember all of those affected by the events of September 11, 2001. We remember them in our actions by doing good deeds for others, and we remember them in our thoughts by continuing to pray for all the families and friends left behind, as well as for all those who are currently first responders and military personnel. In class we looked at the Facebook 9/11 I Will page and thought about what good deeds we can do so that we continue to make America a good place to live.

One of the good deeds our school does is collect soda can tabs for the Shriners.  They in turn recycle the aluminum and use the money to support their Children’s Burn and Orthopedic Hospitals.  The Shriners provide completely free care for their pediatric patients.

What good deed can you do this week or this month as a way to commemorate the lives of all those affected by September 11th?

We've collected over 400 pounds of soda tabs over the last five years.
