Long Beach schools recognize their heroes
Students throughout Long Beach Public Schools recognized Sept. 11 in many ways. Several students and staff wore red, white and blue to show their appreciation.
At Lido and Lindell Elementary Schools, students read books and poems about heroes. Long Beach Middle School students observed a moment of silence before reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in the morning, and students at East Elementary School wrote letters and made cards for their heroes.
The Long Beach High School Pep Band performed the national anthem and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” at the start of the 34.3 Foundation’s annual run from Long Beach to Ground Zero. West Elementary School students gathered on the playground to cheer on the 34.3 runners as they ran past the school on Beech Street.
