Several schools in the East Cobb area have been festooned with American flags for the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the U.S.
Students at Kell High School planted 2,977 flags—equalling the number of people who were killed in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001—on the school’s lawn.
“A truly touching morning for all who could see this display,” said a message on the school’s Facebook page, which contains more photos.
Similarly, at Pope High School, students there placed the same number of flags on school grounds on Wednesday, so they would be seen as the school day started Thursday.
“We truly have the best students and yesterday was another powerful reminder of their compassion and commitment,” said Pope’s Facebook message, which also included more photos.
The same gesture was made at Walton High School:
“Every year Student Leadership Council students line the walkways and driveways with flags in honor of the victims of the attacks on September 11, 2001.”
