📰 News we're reading
• Recalling a day of remembrance (starnewsgroup.com) — Manasquan High School's 9/11 memorial, created by then-principal Cary McCormack, is remembered 24 years later as a moment that brought the local school community together. The story recalls the 2002 ceremony, the memorial stone on campus, and how students, staff, and families from Manasquan and nearby towns gathered in silence to honor victims and reflect together.
