Innovative Stone Welcomes Parliament Place Elementary School's 5th Grade Class to View the Freedom Stone

    NEW YORK, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Karen Pearse, Chief Executive Officer of Innovative Stone announced today that Parliament Place Elementary School's fifth grade class will visit the Freedom Stone in Hauppauge, Long Island on Monday, November 20 and Tuesday, November 21. This marks the first year that Parliament Place will incorporate the events of September 11, 2001 into their social studies curriculum.
    Ms. Pearse will guide the group on a tour of the stone and present a video on its making and installation followed by a question and answer session. Each student will also receive a small piece of the same Adirondack granite used to make the Freedom Stone.
    "We welcome schools and individuals alike to visit the Freedom Stone," said Pearse. "As the creators and caretakers of the stone, it is my steadfast belief that this commemorative monument belongs to all people who believe in the basic human right of freedom."
    "Many of these kids were in kindergarten when the towers fell, so their understanding of the situation is varied," said Parliament Place teacher Tracy Iudica. "We are grateful to Innovative Stone for providing a local and educational way to help the children connect with the Freedom Stone."
