Saints Cyril and Methodius Remembers 9/11

At Saints Cyril and Methodius School in Deer Park, teachers took time with students of all ages to remember 9/11 this month. Second and Third graders read a beautiful book called My Son Christopher by Maureen Crethan Santora, a non-fiction story of the life of a young firefighter who died on 9/11, as told by his mother, the author. Older students had group discussions about this date in history that occurred before they were born and what the world was like during this tumultuous time. They prayed for all of the brave men and women committed to the life of a firefighter, military or police officer, all in the name of making our world a safer, better place. Others wrote about what peace looks like to them, how each of them can work to do good deeds for others and bring peace to the world in each of their own ways every day.
