On September 11, 2013, James A. Dever Elementary School students, staff and guests participated in a ceremony to remember the events of 9/11. This memorial/remembrance ceremony began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the singing of the National Anthem and America the Beautiful. Several sixth-grade students read poems to commemorate the day. Principal Darren Gruen spoke about how important it is that everyone remember those courageous people who lost their lives, and the first responders that worked so hard to save them. These words united the school with a feeling of patriotism and service. The ceremony concluded with a moment of silence.
