Hidden Valley Middle School in Bluffdale didn’t exist on Sept. 11, 2001, but 22 years after the terror attacks, a special 9/11 remembrance was held there
But 22 years after the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people and triggered a decades-long war on terror, a special 9/11 remembrance was held there Monday.Students, teachers and staff, along with family members, gathered together for a special, sunrise flag raising ceremony.The principal here at Hidden Valley feels very strongly that commemorating 9/11 is a perfect way for his students to learn a valuable and practical history lesson.
“I think it’s important to remember our country’s history and that we can celebrate the peoples lives who were lost during that time,” said student body officer Jaxon Miller. “So hopefully, by recognizing this day, it takes a moment for many of those students to be able to have a chance to talk more about it, find out within their own families which families were impacted by it, and to remember it,” Principal McLeod added.
