On Thursday Jeffrey's elementary school honored all those who fell on September 11, 2001. The scouts stood together while a color guard raised the flag halfway. Then everyone sang the star spangled banner.
I thought it was a neat morning, and enjoyed the patriotism that was displayed by scouts, students, teachers, and parents. We had 120 scouts participate. Pretty amazing.

I think that is awesome they are teaching the kids about it.
Very cool. At Thorman Elementary, my former school, we also did something first thing in the morning to remember 9/11. But I don't think anyone did anything at my son's school which I think is sad. I think it's because of the over 1300 kids that attend but still I think they could have done a little something? Or maybe they did and my son doesn't remember.
And FRE has a LOT of scouts, I think, over a hundred (as does PHE). I'm thinking that maybe next year their school scout program will have a flag ceremony like ours did this year (they didn't have something this year, you're right). The main scout guy that thought up the idea a few years ago says more schools join in the effort every single year, the more the word gets out.
