Fernley Intermediate School came together to honor Patriot Day with a heartfelt 9/11 Remembrance Assembly. The event served as an important learning opportunity for students while also recognizing the bravery and sacrifice of those impacted by the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
FIS Leadership students played a central role in the assembly. They created artwork and posters reflecting themes of remembrance, unity, and hope. During the ceremony, students walked in a parade around the gym, proudly displaying their creations to the audience. Their efforts highlighted both their creativity and their commitment to honoring the significance of this day in history.
The assembly taught students about the tragedy of 9/11 and its lasting impact on the nation. To help students understand the deeper meaning of the day, Fernley Mayor Neal McIntyre spoke about how the country came together in unity during that time. His message emphasized the importance of kindness, compassion, and community strength.
FIS was honored to welcome local heroes in attendance, including representatives from the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office, North Lyon Fire Department, and Nevada Highway Patrol, along with veterans and other community members. These individuals were recognized during the assembly for their ongoing dedication and service to the community. Their presence offered students a chance to connect the lessons of 9/11 to the everyday heroism demonstrated by first responders.
The assembly was organized by FIS Leadership Teacher Julie Shoemaker. Under her guidance, the students spoke, presented, and led the school community in the remembrance.
