CHARLOTTE —Charlotte Catholic High School student-atheltes spent Sunday afternoon Sept. 10 placing a display of 2,977 flags at the school entrance to honor the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa.
This is the fourth consecutive year that the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has placed the flags at the school’s front entrance, which is located on busy Pineville-Matthews Road in south Charlotte. FCA members purchased the flags and spent several hours placing them carefully in front of the school.
“This has become a great tradition at Charlotte Catholic,” said Kevin Christmas, athletic director and advisor to the FCA chapter.
“Because of our location on Highway 51, we can commemorate Sept. 11 and honor the lives lost that day, within our school community and beyond.”
