A Message from the
Student Council
This past Wednesday, the Middle School students organized and participated in a walkout to commemorate the Parkland school shooting. We centered it around the central message:
All students should feel safe and be safe at school
. We walked out at 10:00 for 17 minutes, went to Lexington and took 17 seconds of silence for each of the 17 victims. We felt that it was a great success, and are working towards possibly planning another protest on April 20th. Thank you for your support and understanding!
