Dubuque, IA: Students Honor 9/11 Victims, Celebrate Character

Students planted a memorial garden on Friday, October 26, to honor those who lost their lives in the September 11th tragedy. Nearly every pupil and staff member at John F. Kennedy School donated $1 to purchase a flower bulb, and on Friday every student took turns planting his or her bulb. Each flower will represent five lives lost. In the spring, the garden will produce nearly 600 blooms in remembrance of the approximately 3,000 people who perished.
