At Great Mills High School, students gathered and talked about ending gun violence and reflected on the 17 lives lost in Parkland. Several students held signs calling for the end to the violence, others took the opportunity to have their voices heard and called for more safety in schools.
A freshman, who asked to not be identified, said she participated in the walkout because children shouldn’t be in fear of going to school. “I’ve been talking about it with my parents and we believe that kids shouldn’t be afraid to go to school.” She went on to say it wasn’t about gun control, it’s about stopping gun violence.
