First-graders at Villa Maria Academy
elementary school prepared a
tribute to the heroes of Sept. 11, 2001,
with a special visit from NYPD Chief
Ed Delatorre, who is also a school parent,
on Friday, Sept 10. An American
fl ag was attached to the fence for the
occasion and students signed yellow
ribbons and tied them around it as a
symbol of remembrance.
Delatorre told the children that
their applause reminded him of the
crowds of New Yorkers who lined the
streets cheering for police, fi re and
EMS personnel as they made their way
down to the World Trade Center in the
days after 9/11. He told them how special
it is to him and other fi rst responders
and their families that the children
of Villa Maria never forget.
The children prayed and sang
“God Bless America.” Delatorre then
answered their questions and gave
them a quick lesson in how to salute.
His partner Det. Joe then proceeded
to show them the lights and sirens on
their police car. Delatorre accepted a
gift behalf of Villa Maria for the NYPD
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea,
just like he has done for many of the
past years.
Mrs. Marino and her class prepared
15 platters of cookies and treats
that were delivered to Villa Maria parents
to bring to their NYPD precincts
and FDNY stations to share with their
colleagues.
