Sixth-grade students from both Penn Middle School and Trafford Middle School came together the week of September 8th in a unique way to honor September 11th.
As part of a shared learning activity, students at both schools applied their knowledge of ratios and proportions to study the stars and stripes of the American flag.
“This shared project not only deepened their learning but also gave them an appreciation for the symbolism of the flag as they reflected on the importance of remembering 9/11,” commented Trafford teacher Mrs. Sara Watt. “It also highlighted the unity between our schools as we remembered a day when our nation stood together.”
