Remembering September 11, 2001
Eighth-grade students at St. Clare Walker Middle School took time to honor and remember the events of September 11, 2001, through a meaningful and powerful learning experience.
Students were provided mock boarding passes, explored family testimonies, and watched videos documenting the devastation and the impact felt across our nation. School Board Member Karen McMinn also shared her personal account of that day, giving students the opportunity to hear firsthand about the uncertainty, fear, and unity that followed.
As we remember those we lost and those whose lives were forever changed, we are reminded of the strength, compassion, and unity our nation demonstrated in the days that followed. 🇺🇸
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

On Tuesday, November 3, our community will vote on implementing this proposed sales tax for the modernization of Middlesex High School, built in 1949.
A comprehensive study has documented significant aging, safety, accessibility, code, and infrastructure needs at MHS.
If approved, the tax would be paid on taxable purchases by residents AND nonresidents, helping to address the urgent need while relieving some of the burden on property tax payers.
