On Sept. 11 all Denver Public schools will schedule a moment of silence as a school-wide event during the course of the school day. Gov. Bill Owens has asked county and local governments and school districts to hold flag-lowering ceremonies on Sept. 11, either at the time of the first terrorist attacks or at another time during the day.

The following schools have announced special activities:

• Kaiser Elementary School: “Remember the Heroes Day” program will be presented at 10 a.m. Sept. 11 at the school. Students will say the Pledge of Allegiance and observe a moment of silence. The student body will sing a number of patriotic songs and Principal Angela Wilhite will speak. Classes will present firefighters with gifts of appreciation.
  
• Sabin Elementary School: The Sabin choir will perform from 8 to 9:30 a.m. at Fort Logan cemetery. The students are currently making quilts to remember the event.
  
• Cory Elementary School: At noon, the students will meet on the front lawn for a short memorial, including music by the band and chorus. Students will present their Mosaic of Hands project, symbolizing peace. After eating lunch outside, students will be given a red, white and blue ribbon to tie on the fence in honor of those who lost their lives.
  
• Wyman Elementary: Third graders have written stories about the positive things that have happened since Sept. 11, and the stories are displayed on a bulletin board in the main hall along with an American flag created by the school counselor.
