School remembers 9/11 victims

HOLTVILLE, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - Teachers and students, along with the Holtville Fire Department (HFD) and the Sheriff's Office, held a ceremony to remember those who lost their lives on 9/11.

The ceremony was held Wednesday morning at Holtville Junior High School.

Holtville firefighter John Robles gave an emotional speech about that tragic day.

Although students who attend the school were born after 9/11, one student, Gabriella Arrellano, expressed how she felt when she learned about the terror attacks.

"Very scared and very shocking to see that people could do something like that to something very innocent," Arrellano expressed.

The principal of the school says this is the tenth year the school has had a ceremony on 9/11.

HFD says they have taken part in different trainings like stair climbs to be prepared at all times.
