On the anniversary of one of the nation’s darkest days, 10 Pentucket Regional High School seniors honored the memories of those who died on 9/11 by performing acts of public service.
The seniors assembled more than 4,000 meals for the Greater Boston Foodbank at TRACK at New Balance in Boston. 911 Day is a non-profit organization that honors those who lost their lives on the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and those who were affected. 911 Day was created to turn the memory of the tragedy into a day of good.
Participating students — Hannah Bub, Matt Coco, Sophia Dolan, Evelyn Dunn, Sarah Freitas, Madelyn Grimes, Marianna Ingianni, Valentina Ingianni, Kiylee Milliken, and Paige Rosario — were accompanied by Assistant Principal Brandon Bates, and Social Studies Department Chair Keith Sherman.
Principal Brenda Erhardt, Assistant Principal Bates, and History Chair Sherman thank Joseph Spalluto, who is Chair of the 9/11 Day Board of Directors and Assistant Principal Bates’s father-in-law, for sponsoring the Pentucket table. Spalluto was managing director of an investment banking and services firm headquartered in the World Trade Center and lost 67 colleagues in the attacks.
They also wish to thank the Pentucket PTA for treating the participants to lunch at Flat Breads in Boston.
“Meal Packs” were held in 24 cities, with more than 31,000 volunteers seeking to pack more than 9,500,000 nutritious, non-perishable meals for Americans at risk of hunger.
