Piner’s Team 81 completed an especially meaningful assignment to commemorate the ninth anniversary of 9/11. Teacher Martha Stephens purchased 2 flags, one that lists the names of all those who died that day, and another that lists rescue workers who lost their lives while trying to save others. Each student chose a name to research and find out personal information, i.e. Did the victim have a family? What do their friends and families remember about them? What was their occupation? “I wanted the students to put a face with a name; to emphasize that these people are not just numbers,” said Stephens. Shown here are Team 81 students surveying the 9/11 flags.
