About:
On Sept. 11, kindergartners and teachers at Northeast Elementary School in Amityville celebrated unity and patriotism during Patriot Day.
In recognition of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Northeast held a special ceremony as they planted American flags around the school building. Additionally, many of the students wore red, white and blue as they gathered together to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Northeast Principal Dr. Pauline Collins also held an assembly in the school’s gymnasium in which she shared an age-appropriate slideshow to educate kindergartners about the Twin Towers.
