Remembering 9-11 Our Firefighters and Heroes

Donated by:Barbra Wineman Scognamiglio- a friend from Waterbury, Connecticut where I grew up as a child.
• Marsha, thanks for the opportunity......I fondly remember my cousin David as being a jokester, always full of life and a lot of fun. He was born in Freeport LI and always wanted to be a firefighter. He spent countless hours in the fire station there, making friends with everyone. He became one of the elite Rescue 1 firemen; he was honored by the Mayor for rescuing a man whose car went of the road and into the Hudson River, diving into the river to save him. And as ironic as it was, the man was a friend of my Aunt Elaine’s. He had massive arms, covered in tattoos, his looks were rough and tough but he was gentle and loving. He was truly a hero, my personal hero of 9/11...nothing was ever found of him, but I am confident that he made it to heaven and is watching over everyone who loved him!

This touched my heart so much that I had to share, special thanks to Barbra for this unique contribution. To the wonderful firefighters who lost their lives in vain, we salute you and dedicate this post to David on behalf of all of them.

can send project. If you use the clubhouse wiki then please:

New dreams for Marsha and the Globaldreamers

Dear Friends,
I first of all hope everyone is well and having a great vacation. I have retired from Ein Ganim School after 31 years of teaching and will still be doing my Globaldreamers project together with the Global Virtual Classroom Clubhouse as the new project manager for the club. The two programs will emerge and I am honored in doing this as I am a firm believer of global collaboration and online teaching. It is my hope and dream that everyone will continue dreaming with me. I also hope to involve some of my kids from my afternoon enrichment classes in our work.

I am honored and thrilled to be able to continue doing what I love so much. I will be going to the USA this Thursday and I will be meeting some of the Globaldreamers partners hopefully and it excites me very much.

Please read our new index page on Globaldreamers explaining the new school year. We will continue our dream.

Much thanks and gratitude to the many educators and students from around the world who have made Globaldreamers a great project.

Fondly,
Marsha Goren
