Welcome to the Friday Five
Remembering September 11
| |
Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families forever changed, and the heroes who ran toward danger to help others. We remember their courage, sacrifice, and the strength shown by communities coming together in the days that followed.
As we reflect on that spirit of compassion and connection, we are reminded of the importance of caring for one another and making sure no one feels alone. There is a lot happening across SCS this fall, with opportunities at our centers to learn, connect, enjoy eachother's company, and support one another in tough times. Here’s what’s coming up.
