        Her words quieted more than 1,900 students.

        At 7:01 a.m. Wednesday, Fairfield High School Principal Monica Mitter picked up the school's public address system: “At this time we'd like to remember the heroes of 9-11.”

        Students closed their eyes for a moment of silence, some fought tears.

        Then she listened as the show choir, the Choraliers, sang “The Star Spangled Banner.”

        It gave her chills.“They sang it with a different passion,” she said.

        A year ago, she called the attack a “teachable moment, horrible as it is.”

        This year she focused on what has been learned. “One of the most difficult things for anyone to do ... is to help a child understand history as they're living through it. It's difficult to understand the enormity.”
