September 11th Teacher Awards
The Tribute WTC Visitor Center annually presents awards to teachers who have created exemplary educational projects that help sustain the memory of September 11th. Innovative teachers are honored for how they have engaged their students in the discussion of the meaning of September 11th in their classrooms and for their focus on humanitarian responses to 9/11. Projects have been selected for engaging students in the arts and humanities: history, language arts, visual, media and performing arts. Each school receives both a financial gift and framed Certificate of Merit. An award ceremony takes place on February 26, to commemorate the 1993 first attack on the World Trade Center.
