GHS STUDENT DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR
Sept 11, 2026
Good morning Germantown. Before we go into our usual announcements we will have a special segment to commemorate what happened 25 years ago.
On this day in 2001, our nation experienced a profound tragedy that forever changed our history. Though most of us in this building were not yet born, the impact of that morning continues to shape the world we live in. Today, we take time to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost in New York, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon.
We honor the incredible courage of the firefighters, paramedics, police officers, and everyday citizens who rushed toward danger to save others. In the painful days that followed, communities across the country responded not with division, but with extraordinary unity, compassion, and strength.
As we go through our classes today, let us honor the memory of those lost by carrying those same values forward—building a school culture defined by kindness, integrity, and support for one another.
Please join us now in a moment of silence, followed by the playing of Taps by Connor Foscato.
Would you please stand for the pledge:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
