Loved sharing the new 9/11 @RetroReport video. My students were so engaged and asked so many amazing questions. Thankful for this organization & the resources they provide to educators. If we want the next generation to remember & care, we have to share the stories of that day.

Co-sign. The @RetroReport 9/11 Heroes video is also great, but if you are looking for something more hopeful, interviews with the now-grown children from the daycare are pretty amazing.

Sept. 11, 2001, started as a normal day for teacher Onica Sarjeant as she traveled to work at the Children’s Discovery Center in the World Trade Center. But when she emerged from the subway, she saw an incomprehensible sight: a gaping hole in the side of one of the twin towers. Hear her 9/11 recollection in a new video: retroreport.org/video/chaos-…
