Today, Mrs. DuPont’s students came together to remember September 11th and reflect on what it means to be a hero. Each student wrote about what a hero means to them and the qualities that make someone heroic. To honor this important day, our students also wore red, white, and blue as a symbol of unity, courage, and remembrance.

❤️🤍💙 9/11 Heroes’ Day | National Day of Remembrance 🕊️

Today, September 11th, Clay County District Schools pauses to honor the lives lost, the courageous first responders who rushed toward danger, and the countless heroes whose bravery shone on one of our nation’s darkest days.

On this National Day of Remembrance, our students and staff reflect on the selflessness, unity, and resilience that defined our country following September 11, 2001. Through meaningful classroom reflection and age-appropriate civics lessons, we ensure that the legacy of these heroes inspires the next generation.

Today, we invite our Clay County community to join us in taking a moment of quiet reflection to honor those we lost and thank the local heroes who keep us safe every day.

We will never forget. ❤️

They experimented with color mixing, stamping and sgraffito (scratching to add texture) on paper. The best part? These unique creations will be used in a future weaving project.

Our Clay Hill teachers honed their skills during professional development this week.
