On September 11, 2026 we gathered to remember the innocent lives lost, honor the courage of our first responders and members of the military, and reflect upon the unity shown by Americans during one of the darkest moments in our nation鈥檚 history. We also hosted a 9/11 stair climb to honor the first responders who served during the terrorist attack. At the end of the day, we climbed around 45,000 stairs in total. Not only did we climb stairs but we held a ceremony with the help of the RULH choir and the RULH JROTC, to fold the flag, sing the national anthem, and tell the story of survivors Stanley Praimnath and Brian Clark. Throughout the school day, a few FFA members announced each event at the specific time it happened. May we always remember the lives that were lost, honor those who served, and strive to live with courage, kindness, and unity.
