Students, staff, and members of the community gathered together on Thursday afternoon, September 11 to plant a tree in remembrance of the heroes of 9/11. "Today we honor the heroes who made a difference in other people's lives two years ago today, a day that will stand out in our minds forever," explained student Jonathan Varghese at the opening of the ceremony. "As Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said, 'the terrorists wanted September 11th to be a day when innocents died. Instead it was a day when heroes were born.'" The community service learning class of the Jericho Middle School prepared and organized this solemn and thoughtful event under the guidance of faculty advisors Jill Grossman, Maria Panayiotou and Spiridoula Nikolopoulos.
