The recent terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center have taken the lives of thousands of people, and left everyone else trying to make sense of the horrific acts.
Administrators and faculty at the Lawrence Middle School have responded to the disaster by creating a series of educational lessons for students and holding commemorative services. Last week, they launched the Spirit of America campaign.
It is a sustained educational program that primarily has as its objective an understanding of American patriotism and the role that children can play in response to terrorism, principal Dr. Mark Kavarsky said.
I think our children are very pleased that we are providing the kind of safe haven that they need to have being immersed in discussions about current events and, concurrently, receiving guidance intervention,he added.
The campaign began with a remembrance ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 20, when students, faculty and parents sang patriotic songs like God Bless America
