On the anniversary of September 11th, buses across the Baldwin-Whitehall School District displayed American flags as a tribute to the lives lost in the 2001 terrorist attacks. Beyond the visual show of remembrance, the flags gave teachers and families a natural opening to talk with students about the significance of the day — turning a daily bus ride into a moment of civic reflection. It's a fitting reminder that patriotism and remembrance are often taught not through lectures, but through small, visible acts woven into everyday routines.
