Today we stop to remember September 11 thirteen years ago when our nation came under attack. The day taught us not to take anything for granted – and it especially taught us to be prepared. One of the ways you can prepare is by ensuring you’re connected. The Baldwin County Public Schools Smart Phone App and the Baldwin County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Smart Phone App help you to do just that. You can find out more at http://www.bcbe.org/prepare--a special Patriot’s Day Message has been prepared for you.
