Ms. Held's Class' Project: FDNY Ten House: "We Still Remember"

Students in all of Ms. Held's art classes learned about the tragic events of September 11, 2001.  After learning about and discussing the events of that day, students read about the story of the FDNY Ten House.  FDNY Ten House is located across the street from the World Trade Center Site.  It is the only fire station inside Ground Zero.  Members of the Ten House lost six brothers that day and their firehouse was severely damaged.  Students in Ms. Held's art classes read the story of these six men and the long road to rebuilding Firehouse Ten. After, they created pieces of artwork to honor and remember the lost Brothers of the Ten House and the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001. They included a letter on the back of their artwork to explain their images and express their thoughts and thanks.   The artwork is being sent to the Ten House members in New York, as a token of our gratitude.  Here are a few examples of student work.
