We Will Never Forget, September 11, 2001 |
|
Everyone remembers where they were on 9/11: a classroom, an office, at home, or for some, right there on the scene at the Twin Towers. On September 11, 2001, 2,977 people started their day as usual, but sadly never made it home.
The Tunnel to Towers 9/11 NEVER FORGET Mobile Exhibit traveled to Jupiter Community High School to give students a chance to better understand one of the most tragic days in our nation's history. The school's very own School Police Officer Kevin O'Sullivan also shared his own firsthand account of 9/11 as a lieutenant in the New York City Police Department.

Bicycle Safety Awareness is Coming to a School Near You! |
|
The District is proud to unveil its new portable bicycle and pedestrian safety unit. New bicycles, helmets, street signs, and adaptive bicycle equipment, designed to assist students with disabilities, will fill a traveling trailer for elementary school P.E. courses on bicycle and pedestrian safety. The trailer is returning to service for the first time since the pandemic.
This updated trailer and equipment were supported in part through a grant from AAA and generous donations from Safe Kids Palm Beach County. Community and School District volunteers assisted with assembling the bicycles, and have pledged to assist with ongoing upkeep. Third through fifth grade students will learn important bicycle and pedestrian safety lessons during their normal P.E. classes.
