On September 11, Grays Chapel Elementary School gathered as one community to honor and remember the events of 9/11/2001. With students, staff, families, and community members present, the school paid tribute to the lives lost and the heroes who emerged on that tragic day.
A special acknowledgment was given to the family of Sandy Waugh Bradshaw, a Grays Chapel alumna and local hero who courageously helped bring down Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. Her legacy continues to inspire generations, and her connection to Grays Chapel makes this remembrance especially meaningful.
The ceremony also recognized the dedication of our local fire department and first responders, who serve as daily reminders of the bravery and sacrifice shown on 9/11.
Principal, staff, and students joined together in a display of patriotism and unity, reinforcing the message that Grays Chapel Elementary will never forget the significance of this day in American history.
“Thank you to our fire department, first responders, families, students, and especially the Bradshaw family for joining us on one of the most important days we observe at GCES,” the school shared.
Grays Chapel Elementary stands committed to remembering 9/11 and honoring the courage of heroes past and present.
