Update From the Executive Director
9/11
Next Tuesday is the 17th anniversary of 9/11. Like many of you, I can remember where I was and what I was doing on that tragic day. About 8:00 AM (CST), I walked into the commons area of New Mark Middle School and glanced at the TV. Instantly my attention turned from supervising students to seeing unspeakable events unfolding before our eyes. My assistant principal, Rick Dayoub, called district office as we were strategizing on next steps. We spent the rest of the day meeting and consoling students and faculty as well as greeting parents as they picked up their student from school. As we approach “Patriot Day” in our schools, it is an opportunity to remind students how our country was united in this calamity. The importance of first responders in our communities, devotion, bravery, and “service above self” are other reasons to share once again, how we can find strength in unimaginable adversity.
