Peters Township Middle School students in Mrs. Cindy Ollendyke's science classes spent much of their day remembering Sept. 11, 2001 with a hands-on approach.

A precocious Peters Township Middle School student became the youngest player to win a title at the ITA National Collegiate Clay Court Championship on Saturday.
