REMEMBERING AND SAYING THANK YOU AT REECEVILLE
Students at Reeceville Elementary marked Patriot Day with a meaningful ceremony alongside officers from the West Brandywine Police Department, members of the East Brandywine Fire Department, and Officer Irizarry of the Coatesville Area School District.
Together, students recited the Pledge of Allegiance and listened to the National Anthem before the flag was lowered in remembrance of all those affected by the events of September 11, 2001.
The ceremony concluded with a special gesture from our students. By grade level, they presented handmade thank-you cards to the first responders, showing their appreciation for the service they provide to our community each day.
Thank you to our first responders for joining us and to our Reeceville students for demonstrating that remembrance also means showing gratitude to those who serve.

A LESSON IN REMEMBRANCE AND HEROISM
Patriot Day provided an important opportunity for our King’s Highway Elementary students to learn about remembrance, service, and what it means to be a hero.
Students were joined by officers from the West Caln Police Department, members of the Wagontown Fire Company, and Officer Ghee from the Coatesville Area School District. The gathering began with the playing of the National Anthem before members of the fire company spoke about the importance of remembering September 11 and those who were lost.
Officer Ghee then shared a special message with students about what it means to be a hero, reminding them that heroism can be found in courage, kindness, helping others, and serving your community.
We appreciate our first responders for spending time with our students and helping make this day of remembrance a meaningful learning experience at King’s Highway.

SERVICE. GRATITUDE. REMEMBRANCE.
Coatesville seniors Declan Brady, Brandon Berger, and Camryn Johnson, members of the Angela C. Cristoforo Chapter of the National Honor Society, recently volunteered their time to organize Bravery Kits for firefighters and first responders who continue to serve their communities each day.
The kits are part of Beacons of Bravery, a service project created by the Brighten A Day Foundation in recognition of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.
We are proud of Declan, Brandon, and Camryn for honoring the spirit of service through their own act of giving back and showing appreciation for the first responders who dedicate themselves to helping others.
Thank you for representing Coatesville with pride and purpose!
