At Rhame Avenue School, 6th-grade teacher Alexis Freudenberg led a touching 9/11 remembrance event that brought the entire school together to honor this important day in history.

In preparation, students read a passage about September 11th to better understand the significance of the event. They then created remembrance chains, writing kind messages on paper links. These chains symbolized how people united in support on September 11, 2001.

Gathering on the field, the students and staff joined their chains together and held hands in a large circle, observing a moment of silence to reflect on the day’s meaning and the power of community.

The 2024-25 school year kicked off with excitement across the East Rockaway UFSD on Tuesday, September 3. At Rhame Avenue and Centre Avenue elementary schools, families came together the night before to decorate the walkways with colorful chalk messages wishing the students good luck. The cheerful greetings set a positive tone for the first day. Over at East Rockaway Junior/Senior High School, students did a fantastic job of keeping their cell phones away, staying focused on their first-day activities. With smiles all around, it's clear that everyone is happy to be back for another great year!
