2023 | Virtual Event for Grade Levels 6-12: Enhancing Students' Learning Experience
While the programming of this virtual event was geared towards students in grades 6-12, there were options available for all grade levels. After registering, teachers received a link to access a range of resources that will enrich their virtual learning program.
Came September 11, a video gallery was accessible to the public. The gallery included ranger-guided tours of each of the Memorials features, interviews with family members, a crime scene investigation, and a pre-recorded Moment of Remembrance for those who were unable to tune in to the live stream event on September 11.
Participants were greeted by various Flight 93 leadership members via live stream. The 9/11 ceremony from Flight 93 National Memorial was also live streamed, followed by live Q&A sessions led by Flight 93 National Memorial rangers.
Curriculum and resources were available starting September 11, 2023, through the Zoom platform and remained accessible to teachers until the end of that year. After this time, all information can be accessed via the 9/11 resource pages on both Friends and National Park Service websites.

2024 Write to Remember
Write to Remember 9/11
Friends will team up again with the National Writing Project for the National Day of Learning initiative – "Teach to Remember". The National Writing Project provided a secure website where teachers and students can access resources to write about the lessons they learned from the National Day of Learning or the resources offered by the National Park Service.
This program is designed to encourage students in grades 6-12 to write stories about the lessons they learned from the Flight 93 tragedy and the heroic actions of the forty passengers and crew members. Our aim is to inspire the future generation to follow in their footsteps.
Educators can still encourage their students to explore the Flight 93 Story and share how its lessons apply to problems faced today!
