GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Although they are too young to remember the day itself, Gridley High School Leadership Class paid special tribute to the memory and losses sustained by the United States as we approached the 20th Anniversary of the attack on 9/11 and the World Trade Center Twin Towers.
On Friday, September 10th, Leadership students and staff lined the drive in front of Gridley High School with American Flags in anticipation of the 20th Anniversary on Saturday, September 11th. Not only did the front of the school get the patriotic treatment, but the “Boneyard” was included as well. With Gridley High School’s first home football game planned for that evening, GHS Leadership felt that it was appropriate to dress the field in stars and stripes as well. Unfortunately, the game was cancelled but the flags will be put back up for another generation promising to never, ever forget.
