This morning, students, community leaders, and JEFCOED Superintendent Dr. Walter Gonsoulin gathered at Shades Valley High School to remember the lives changed forever on September 11, 2001.
The annual 9/11 Memorial Ceremony, presented by the Shades Valley MCJROTC, brought together JROTC students from Shades Valley, Pinson Valley, and Clay-Chalkville high schools for a heartfelt and touching ceremony. Through the presentation of the colors, moving speeches, and the laying of flowers, they honored the heroes of 9/11 and those who continue to serve our nation.
