Jennifer Guarino, a junior from Lewisville, N.C., will speak at a national rally for children at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., at 11 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 11.
Guarino, a National PTA Board youth member, will participate along with Kathie Lee Gifford, more than 50 foreign ambassadors to the United States and 1,000 children in “Remember the Children: An Event about Children, for Children and by Children.”
The event will honor those who died the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and help heal emotional scars of children still frightened by the attacks. Guarino is among a select group of speakers at the event that will include political and religious leaders, entertainers and students. Participants plan to re-assert their commitment to children and call for investments in programs and policies that promote children’s education, health and nutritional needs.
