Sept. 11 Pinwheels for Peace Created by Students

Sacred Heart Church of Eureka students and teachers hoped to inspire drivers on Interstate 44 to think of hope and peace as the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 came last year. Their simple but creative concept inspires the 11th anniversary as well.

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 This unpublished article was saved for this 11th anniversary of the tragic attack of terrorism on U.S. land.

The message of students and teachers was simple: Each life lost in the incident of terrorism on Sept. 11, 2001, was unique and worth remembering. And they devised a creative way of doing that, along with wishing for world peace.
