Honoring the lives lost was the inspiration behind a volunteer effort at Montgomery Public Schools.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - While many are using the 21st anniversary of the September 11 attacks as a time to reflect, volunteers rolled up their sleeves and completed a day of service at Montgomery Public Schools.
“In no way, shape, or form am I comparing what our volunteers are doing to the events of 9/11,” Merrell said. “But they are putting the scholars first. They’re putting others’ needs above their own.” “I want to eliminate any kind of you know, distractions potentially to where they might not feel their learning environment is the nicest,” he said, “now we can give them something to be proud of on Monday morning.”
