A gentle breeze blew over the Gilpin football field as the clock neared 10 a.m. on Wednesday March 14. A leisurely group of 60 students made their way out of the building, onto the football field. Some students carried signs. All were peaceful and very organized in their efforts.
They began by reading a little about each person that died in the Parkland shooting. They spoke of heroism and the last moments of each person’s life. They lit a candle with each victim’s photos on it. They observed 30 seconds of peace after names were called.
There were many sniffles and many tears. It was a very beautiful way to honor the victims of the Parkland School shooting, and stand strong against violence in schools with students across the nation.
