Daily Announcements Friday, September 11, 2026

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Airlines Flight 93, intended to strike a target in Washington. Almost 3,000 people lost their lives on that terrible day. Only staff members listening now were alive when the attacks happened, and I’m sure we all remember what we were doing when we lived through that terrible event. We know the shock, terror, and heartbreak of that day. Students, you have learned about 9/11 and how it changed the nation. Please join me in remembering those who perished on September 11th, 2001, during the moment of silence at the end of today’s announcements.  Thank you.

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.  According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Suicide Prevention Month is a time to raise awareness, spread hope, and spark meaningful action around one of the most urgent mental health issues of our time.  Check in on your friends who might be struggling.  To help your friends, watch for changes in behavior, listen without judgment, and connect them to the 988 lifeline.  Know that you are not alone and there is help for you!
