The Oceanside Fire Department, the Oceanside School District and local clergy marked the annual Sept. 11 memorial at a ceremony last week.

Many Oceanside Schools students participated, including School 4 and 9E choruses — directed by Erin Degnan — who sang “A Song of Peace.”

An Oceanside High School string ensemble, conducted by Stephanie Stagnitta, performed “Amazing Grace.” Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts presented the colors and helped lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Two Oceanside High vocalists sang the national anthem, and a student representing the OHS Patriot Club helping to unveil the tribute wreaths along with teacher Todd Nussen, the club’s advisor.

The event, usually held at Schoolhouse Green, was moved indoors to the School 6 auditorium due to weather concerns. Former fire department captain Sean Brennan served as master of ceremonies.
