Robelen, Erik W. – Education Week, 2005
Five weeks after Katrina landed in Louisiana, Bonnabel and 78 other Jefferson Parish schools were welcoming students back--and far sooner than many had expected.

The shadow of the Twin Towers will never again stretch across the streets of lower Manhattan, but the shadow of September 11 continues to loom large both in New York and around the globe.

Karpinska, Z. E.; Yarrow, Rachel; Gough, L. M. A. – Research in Comparative and International Education, 2007
