AISD students commemorate 9/11
with Patriot Day
(Anthony, TX – Sept. 11, 2021) Anthony Elementary School students learned about kindness and resiliency during the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The Anthony Varsity Band joined students on the elementary school’s lawn to play the national anthem and patriotic songs. Dressed in red, white and blue, students listened to poems about the meaning of Patriot Day.
Patriot Day is dedicated thanking first responders who selflessly ran towards danger to help others. Students learned that a patriot can be a member of the military, firefights and police officers who serve their country by protecting its wellbeing.
The West Valley Fire Department was present at the ceremony and brought their fire trucks for students to tour after the ceremony.
AES Principal Dr. Christine Althoff showed students the importance of thanking first responders and military members. Students wrapped up the ceremony by saying something nice to each other. Watch the video next to this article to hear a poem read by students on Patriot Day.
