9/11 Tributes 

High School Students Read 9/11 Tributes

In the fall of 2021, Burrell High School started what would become a yearly tradition of tributes to remember the lives lost on the fateful day of 9/11. Every student was assigned a different person who passed away, and they researched the life of the person they were memorializing, learning about their family, their friends, and what they spent their life doing. This will be done each year until every person is memorialized. This year, on September 9th, each student read their 9/11 tribute to their history class out on the football field. After hearing the tributes, Freshman Madisyn Kemp explained that she “appreciated the selfless acts and bravery," and it made her want to “honor those victims lost.” Freshman Lily Sassani said they “made [her] feel closure for all the victims.” This tradition honors all the victims and shows that we will never forget their deaths, or the lives they lived, for many years to come.
