On Friday, September 9, our school planted a weeping cherry tree in front of the school in memory of the tragedies on September 11, 2001. The students had a penny drive in order to raise funds to purchase the tree and a plaque that will be placed beside the tree. The whole student body got to watch the tree being planted. Mason from our class even got to help shovel dirt. 
Mrs. Wyatt sang a patriotic song with Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Ball. The whole school sang along.
Our principal, Mrs. Flowers, addresses the Highland students.
