A group of Paterson, NJ school children experienced the 9/11 Memorial Museum on an impactful youth tour on Tuesday, August 18. The tour was led by education Specialists Shannon Elliott and Eduardo Quezada as part of our Summer Programs.
The visit carried a special layer of meaning, as the trip was funded by the Todd Ouida Foundation. Ouida overcame personal health issues as a child to thrive as an adult before his life was cut short on 9/11. In a recently published article, the Bergen Record details the connection the students were able to make with Ouida’s inspirational story, as well as the heroic details of 9/11’s first responders.
