/ HIN Remember September 11
For as long as we live,
September 11 will be a date that evokes searing memories and powerful
emotions. We will each recall September 11 in our own, private way. But
with the arrival of this first anniversary, there will be a universal
desire to share our feelings and experiences with those around us,
including teachers, students, family members, and friends. We must take
the lead in helping our children as they struggle with the memories and
emotions of this day.
