Remembering
In remembrance of the 9/11 terrorist attacks 8 years ago today, I found the following poem by 7th grade student Hannah Schoechert.
We’re Still Standing

Those twin towers
Standing tall with pride,
Fell with grieving hearts.
Stunned, America cried.
But we’re still standing.
Bin Laden tried
To crush our land,
But we stood our ground
With our flag in hand
And we’re still standing.
Red for the valor
And the blood that fell.
White for the purity
Our heroes tell.
Blue for the justice
That will be done,
Proving once more
These colors don’t run
And we’re still standing.
