About:
The Key Club and Student Organization (pats recipients of a TU4C Grant) kicked off this year’s Battle of the Classes, Battling for a Cause with a high school assembly. This year grades nine through 12 will be fundraising money for Tuesday’s Children, which was founded to promote long-term healing for all those directly impacted by the events of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001.
This is the video that was created by the Key Club and Student Organization, which showcases Tuesday’s Children and first-hand accounts from 9/11: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTCSSh5Me4I&list=PLxHn_WcN67UI3D6nX5A8vo…
