9/11 Reflection Walk Held at Babler Elementary
Last year on Sept. 11, students, teachers, staff and parents at Babler Elementary in Wildwood walked outside to a huge surprise: 2,997 American flags, representing each of the lives lost 10 years ago 9/11. This year, they will observe the date in color.
Editor's Note: Due to the huge influx of reader interest in the Patch 10th anniversary commemoration mosaic of Sept. 11, 2001 last year, our online platform was overloaded and prevented me from being able to publish all of the local articles I wanted to in observation of 9/11. This unpublished article was saved for this 11th anniversary of the tragic attack of terrorism on U.S. land.
As U.S. citizens reflected upon the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, Patriots Day was explained three different ways at Babler Elementary in Wildwood last year to commemorate the date.
Then, thanks to Babler parents, students and staff walked outside and were greeted by 2,997 American flags, representing each of the lives lost 10 years ago 9/11.
This year, on the 11th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, Babler school leaders will observe Patriots Day by everyone wearing red, white and blue colors.
