Copenhagen students revisit 9/11 time capsules 25 years later
Twins at Copenhagen Central School opened time capsules created by fourth graders after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
By the ClickNNY North Country Desk
Twins Sophia and Aubrey Colton-McDonald, eighth-grade students at Copenhagen Central School, recently opened time capsules made by fourth graders in the 2001-02 school year, the submitted research says.
Teacher Joanne M. Spooner helped students create the capsules and a scrapbook about the attacks. The materials include students’ thoughts, personal items representing their future plans and clippings about a March 2002 fire in Carthage. One former student, David Hovendon, placed a toy police car in his capsule and later became a New York State trooper. Another former student, Sarah Fowler, is now a teacher, according to the research.
