PCTI Honors 9/11 with Touching Tribute

Wayne, NJ – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – A decade and a half has passed since the United States experienced the devastatingly tragic attacks of 9/11. Each year, Passaic County Technical Institute honors the memory of those who lost their lives with a commemorative assembly.

PCTI’s AP history classes cultivated a moving video presentation while the NJROTC presented the colors as a respectful and patriotic salute to those who are no longer with us. In addition, Sandra Grazioso spoke about the loss of her sons in the attacks, which added an emotional depth to the assembly. Lissa Collins, who lost her husband on 9/11, held one-one-one conversations with students.

The gathering of faculty, students, and guests fostered a genuine connection between all in attendance. PCTI will never forget those who perished on September 11th, 2001.
