9/11 exhibit headed to Cache County; events scheduled throughout Utah

NORTH LOGAN — High-tech may be a big focus of education these days.

“We live in a world that’s very focused on the future of AI and STEM and those math and science programs,” said Jennie Taylor, referencing the increasing emphasis in schools on artificial intelligence and science, technology, engineering and math.

 

While such areas of study are important, she worries the focus on civics and community involvement is slipping. Accordingly, and as 9/11 looms, she aims to put the focus on civics and history with the fourth installment of the 9/11 Project this year in North Logan in Cache County. Cache Valley Remembers, as this year’s installment is called, is one of many 9/11 activities to be held around Utah to commemorate those who died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, though, it’s perhaps the most involved and elaborate among them.

“We want to make sure there’s a place for that — not just the history, but also the civics, the engagement, the community, looking at what does it take to have a strong citizenship in our homes and in our towns?” said Taylor. The 9/11 Project is an initiative of the Major Brent Taylor Foundation, named for Taylor’s late husband, killed in 2018 while on a military deployment to Afghanistan.
