"We saw their actions as an attempt to limit and curb the appeal of the event, however, it seems to have been unsuccessful because there are a lot of people here", says Bentonville Senior Sabrina Mahmoodi.
Cruz, the Parkland shooter, used a semi-automatic AR-15 military-style rifle, a type now being targeted by activists, who are also against high-capacity magazines.
He estimated that 200 students walked out of Findlay High School in a "very organized" fashion.
For the students, however, the walkout was much bigger than just a walk down the street: They said it's a tiny piece of a national movement.
Notre Dame San Jose, a private Catholic college preparatory school, is supporting students who will march on the sidewalk around the block and at 10:14 a.m., will ring the campus bell inviting students to stop and link arms.
Students at Carey Exempted Village School District took a wholly different approach, with the entire school observing "Acts of Kindness" week in tribute to the students of Parkland, and to honor "every other student in the nation who has been impacted by school violence".
Chanting "Hey hey, ho ho, the NRA has got to go!" some of the students marched to the U.S. Capitol, where Democratic lawmakers emerged from the white-domed landmark to praise them. They gathered for 17 minutes, a minute of remembrance for each of the 17 victims, and returned to their classes after a round of applause signaling the end of the observance.
Caldwell and O'Boyle said it was important not to join the pro-gun or anti-gun conversation but simply allow Frewsburg students to support and honor those killed.
In Newtown, Pennsylvania, more than 100 students walked out of Council Rock High School despite warnings they would face discipline if they left the building.
The massacre on 14 February was the latest in a series of shootings that have plagued United States schools and colleges since the Columbine attack.

"They wanted to have more of a message rather than just get out of class", said Carol Graham, a foster parent of two girls at Kennedy who came up with the idea. "So today, we want to send a signal to Georgians that the legislators hear you, that we're going to respond". "It's their Constitutional right to do what they did". "It's not that we're told we don't have a voice, but we're raised not to have a voice and to always listen to whoever may be a superior". Principal William Caldwell read off the names of all 17 students who were killed in the recent shooting.
Huxley Richardson, 16, said Fayetteville feels like a safe community, but that's what people at some other schools thought before shootings happened in those places. What the Parkland students have done is "really an inspiration", said Ms. Quetti, 18.
"Organizations have their own agendas and they're using kids as pawns", Funk added.
"It's just schools taking the easy way out", Bender said. "It's a schoolwide issue we all want to take seriously". "It was handsome and I thought the girls did a good job sticking to the objective and the meaning of it".
Instead, Funk suggested, students need ongoing dialogue in classrooms and open mics.
Time limits, parental permission and administrative presence, Woodbury High School Junior Lemuel Samuel said, deviated from the initial objective of the walkout. "Even though I didn't know them, I felt a personal connection because they had lives, they had dreams, and they're not going to be able to do that because one person made a decision to rip everything away from them".
In all, almost 1,400 Orange County Schools students participated in the walkouts. In particular, it "makes young people more likely to think of themselves as active citizens", said Jane Mansbridge, a political scientist at Harvard University.
Lauren Kelly, the school's principal, directed a request for comment to Funk's office.
"We understand that what happened in Florida was a tragedy, and we stand in support of the Parkland students", said Nancy Ramirez, a Chicago student. "I want all the kids across the world to feel safe at school". The March for Our Lives rally for school safety is expected to draw hundreds of thousands to the nation's capital on March 24, its organizers said.
