We just had our moment of silence. It only lasted for a few seconds, but there was dead silence for like 5 minutes afterwords. I can't believe it's already been 7 years.
I was in 3rd grade. Yup, I was REALLY young, but I still remember it. I think our teacher got a phone call and was told what happened, because immedietly she took us onto the carpet in the corner and was reading stories to us. One by one, all of the kids started getting called down to the office to be signed out. I remember specifically when this girl Nicole was called down, and she was like the 5th person, and we all started laughing really hard. Then I looked at the teacher who was just kind of sitting there. They weren't allowed to tell us what happened - but in my brother's school they turned all the TVs on and watched the news. I wasn't signed out because my parents were in another state at a funeral. There were like 3 kids left at the end of the day.
I don't remember if my parents ever actually told me what happened. I'm sure they did. I don't remember anything about the day as far as leaving school or turning on the news. But I remember when you know...we could all tell that something was going on.
