Today (Wednesday, March 14, 2018) marks one month since the deadly shooting at a Parkland Florida high school.
As a way to honor those who lost their lives and raise awareness about gun violence, students across the nation plan to walk out of the classroom today. Students at schools around the country will be participating, most of them at 10 a.m. The students will return to class after the walkout.
Adair Co. High School students participated in a planned walkout yesterday (Tuesday, March 13th). A.C. School Supt. Dr. Pamela Stephens said the walkout was student-organized with ACHS Asst. Principal Travis Gay working with students to plan the rally. Some students spoke and then released balloons. Supt. Stephens tells WAVE News they made sure there was security, and traffic was held up in order to keep everyone safe.
