❤️🤍💙 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. ❤️

📚 5th Grade ELA students in Mrs. Wright's class read an informational text about the structure of a corn plant and discovered how its different parts work together. They analyzed an actual ear of corn and identified its components, connecting what they read to a hands-on experience. These real-world connections help students deepen their understanding, make learning more meaningful, and remember what they’ve learned long after the lesson is over! 🌽 #HandsOnLearning #5thGradeELA #InformationalText
