This morning, ~250 Hopewell High students, parents & local firefighters completed the 3rd annual 9/11 Stair Climb—matching the stairs climbed by heroes in the North Tower. A single bell toll marked the final "end of watch." We will #NeverForget. 🇺🇸

Two people are playing a ring toss game at an outdoor event. They are focused and smiling. The setting appears to be a sports or community gathering with bleachers in the background. The game structure is wooden and placed on a table.

The Council of the Great City Schools is relieved by the U.S. Department of Education’s release of the remaining ESEA funds. These critical resources will help school districts continue to serve the needs of students across the country.
