9th & 10th grade students in Mrs. Scalia & Mrs. DiLuzio's history classes took a trip to the 9/11 Museum and Memorial. It was an incredible and meaningful experience that helped bring history to life. Students learned so much, asked thoughtful questions, and gained a deeper understanding of the events of September 11th and their lasting impact.
