grief

The tragic events of September 11, 2001, here in America have shocked and saddened the whole country. Although it happened on American soil, it impacts the entire world. We are grieving the enormous loss of life and are in a state of shock. The students, teachers, alumni and friends at the Woods Academy, near Washington, DC, would like you to use the guestbook below to share your thoughts with us. It is through sharing these feelings with each other that we can all begin to heal. Please write your thoughts, fears, or message to us. Together, we can all emerge from this catastrophe a stronger nation, a unified world.

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain,
for purple mountains majesty
above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good, with brotherhood,
from sea to shining sea.........
from America the Beautiful
