A whole generation was not around when the attacks occurred 23 years ago, including some teachers.
“We would really like to see this 9/11 training be brought up yearly in the classrooms,” said Patrick Bavis, a family member of a victim of the attacks.
Bavis said that he visits high schools thanks to a partnership with the Mass 9/11 fund and shares the story of his brother Mark Bavis, who died on one of the planes that struck the World Trade Center after departing from Logan Airport.
Bavis said his goal is to keep the memory of the victims alive and inspire today’s students.

“We think it’s very important that high school students should know exactly what happened to our country that tragic day, but also how strong we are and how we get through these difficult times,” Bavis said.
Patrick encouraged schools to take advantage of the free educational resources that the Mass 9/11 fund provides on their website.
