Hoboken High To Remember Ten Year Anniversary of 9/11

Hoboken High School will remember the ten year anniversary of the September 11 attacks on Friday morning Sept. 9, Christopher Munoz from the high school announced.

At 9 a.m. that Friday morning, students—as well as teachers, administrators and other community leaders—will join local artist Raymond Smith in rededicating a piece of art he originally made for the city: The Hoboken Children's Memorial Flag.

The piece of art—an American flag formed out of hand prints made by children and other family members related to Hoboken victims of the attacks—currently hangs in the room where the Board of Education meets for its monthly meetings.

A facsimile of the art work is being produced for the commemoration that will be held in the Hoboken High School auditorium, where the new memorial will be placed permanently.

First responders, veterans, and family members of the victims of the attacks who would like to participate in the event should contact the school’s main office at 201-356-3703.
