Students in certain classes across different grade levels were asked to wear certain colors (red, white and blue) so they could be set up correctly to form the flag. Students from sixth grade classes held up white sheets of paper to form the 50 stars representing the 50 states. Later, Mid Valley Elementary Center students in grades 4-6 stayed at the field to form the term “9/11.”
