On September 11, North Layton Junior High students took time to remember the events of 9/11 and honor the brave first responders who rush toward danger to help others. ❤️🤍💙

Our students created thank-you cards for the first responders in Layton City to show their appreciation for the dedication and sacrifices they make to keep our community safe. We are grateful for the helpers in our community and all they do to protect and serve others!
