In honor of the anniversary of 9/11, Riccardi Elementary School’s Grade 6 students in Joseph Tiano's class have been learning about the impact of that tragic day. The class read personal accounts and explored how the events affected people worldwide through the powerful book 14 Cows for America by Carmen Agra Deedy. This true story recounts a heartfelt gesture by the Maasai people of Kenya, who offered 14 cows to the United States as a symbol of peace and healing after the attacks.
