The Sandburg Social Studies Department organized a special program in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
The program titled "Tragedy Creates Unity" reflected on the tragic events of the day, the efforts of Americans as they united together to help the victims, their families and the communities affected. It also offered opportunities for students, staff and community members to participate in helping the local community.
