Staten Island high school students participated in a Memorial Day Tribute ceremony at the Michael J. Petrides Education Complex, organized by District 31 officials. Twelve schools united to commemorate the sacrifices of military members, showcasing a profound respect for those who lost their lives in service. Activities included a parade, singing of national anthems, and presentations about local fallen heroes from each school. The event fostered a sense of gratitude and reflection among students, teachers, and community members, emphasizing the importance of remembrance and education in honoring military sacrifices.
Memorial Day is a time that we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason that we're able to speak freely, gather together, open and learn in peace.
Each Staten Island school gave a brief presentation of a fallen hero, which was a servicemember who attended their own high school. This event is a living lesson in gratitude, courage and unity.
