U.S. Air Force JROTC students carry a 9/11 banner around the track at Alan B. Shepard High School Sept. 9, 2022. They will hold a similar ceremony, which includes students reading the names of each victim, this year.
“They don’t have that personal connection anymore, so we provide that personal connection,” said Gary Flaig, from Bloom Trail High School in Steger. He said he shares with students how he was a firefighter and paramedic the day of the attacks.For the first few years, Baniewicz said the day was remembered rather than taught. For the first anniversary, she and her students planted a tree and held a little ceremony.
Lumzy said she fills in information, such as teaching there were two other planes that day, one that hit the Pentagon and another headed toward Washington before the passengers fought back and crashed it in a Pennsylvania field. Juan Ramirez, a bilingual history teacher at Bloom High School in Chicago Heights, said he faces two challenges: His students weren’t born yet and their families weren’t in the U.S.That’s why Ramirez said he shows his students a PowerPoint presentation with facts, photos and audio of a woman sharing the details of her last phone call with her husband, who worked in the south tower of the World Trade Center and died in the attacks.
