Brookside Elementary

Our fifth-grade students had the unique opportunity to visit the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds, where they walked through a powerful and educational 9/11 exhibit. During the visit, they learned about the tragic events that unfolded on September 11, 2001, and gained a deeper understanding of how that day changed the course of history. The exhibit provided a meaningful way for students to connect with the past through photos, artifacts, and firsthand accounts. In addition to exploring the displays, students also had the honor of speaking with veterans, first responders, and other servicemen and women who were directly impacted by the events of 9/11. These personal conversations gave students a chance to hear real-life stories of bravery, sacrifice, and resilience, making the experience both emotional and inspiring. It was an unforgettable field trip that helped our students appreciate the significance of that day and the importance of honoring those who serve.
