Students throughout Long Beach Public Schools recognized Patriot Day on Sept. 11 in various ways. Several students and staff wore red, white and blue to show their appreciation for their heroes. At Lido and Lindell Elementary Schools students read books and poems about heroes. Long Beach Middle School students observed a moment of silence before saying the morning “Pledge of Allegiance.” Students at East Elementary School wrote letters and made cards for their heroes. The Long Beach High School Pep Band performed the “National Anthem” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” at the start of the 34.3 Foundation Annual Run from Long Beach to Ground Zero. West Elementary School students gathered on the playground to cheered on the 34.3 runners as they ran past the school on Beech Street.
