Way to go, Mesnier Primary School Cougars! We’re BIG proud of your strong start this school year. 💜🚴‍♀️💛

09/11/2026

Today, we remember the events of September 11, 2001, and honor the 2,977 lives lost. By a joint resolution approved in 2001, September 11th has been designated as Patriot Day, with flags lowered to half-staff across our district and nation in solemn remembrance. 🇺🇸

25 years later, our community stands united in tribute and gratitude for the brave first responders and heroes who answered the call. We honor their sacrifice, and we teach our students the enduring power of unity, hope, and service.

We honor. We remember. 💜💛
