Today across our KIPP Texas campuses in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, we pause to honor and remember the brave lives lost and the courage shown on September 11, 2001. As a community rooted in strength, unity, and hope, we carry forward their memory by teaching our students the power of resilience and compassion. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🕊️

September 11 is also recognized as Texas First Responders Day—a time to honor the extraordinary bravery, courage, and dedication of the local men and women who step up in times of emergency. Today and every day, we express our gratitude to these heroes across our communities for their selfless service and sacrifice.

✨Cheers to legacy!
