About:
Students and staff throughout the North Bellmore School District marked Patriot Day on Sept. 11 by wearing red, white and blue to school. Through their attire, they honored the victims of the terrorist attacks 24 years ago, recognized the heroic actions of first responders and celebrated a spirit of unity.
At Park Avenue Elementary School, students placed miniature American flags along the front walk. Throughout the day, each class took a turn going outside and by the end of school, more than 300 flags were waving in the breeze. The simple but meaningful act helped students embrace the spirit of the national day of service and remembrance.
