Local students organize to participate in National School Walkout Day on March 14 

High School - Student groups are working together with the leadership of the CHS Student Council to plan for CHS's participation.

As the Parkland students return to school after their frightful tragedy, Yeagley believes it's important for them to know "someone in Terre Haute cares about them".

Kyle Kennedy, a spokesperson for the Polk County School District, said part of the goal is to give students a chance to talk about what they're experiencing.

In addition to planning a march in downtown Greenville on Saturday, March 24, that will coincide with the national March For Our Lives in Washington, D.C., the group is "coordinating efforts for the national school walkout on Wednesday, March 14".

"It's a right we have here to be able to protest things in the United States and students will - if they choose - have the opportunity to take advantage of that", he said. "Additionally, a walkout in support of gun reform legislation could provoke a simultaneous walkout in support of gun ownership rights, which could easily lead to violence and unrest at school".

The peaceful protest is staged by the Women's March Youth Empower Movement.

USA ambassador to Mexico to step down in May
It said three days later, it received an official request to approve the appointment of a new ambassador, which it granted Monday. Associated Press writer Peter Orsi reported this story in Mexico City and AP writer Luis Alonso Lugo reported from Washington.

"For me, I didn't really feel anything right away, and I think that's what bothered me the most - the fact that it felt normal to me, that shouldn't be how I feel; I shouldn't feel that school shootings are normal in our society", said Roaldson, who also plans to join the walkout. Today's incident is a testament to the strength of those relationships, and reminds us that keeping lines of communication open with students is the best way to keep our campuses safe. "We're exhausted of the stagnation after these school shootings".

I want to assure you that as principal, I am committed to taking every precaution to keep Henry Clay High School a safe place to learn and work. "We encourage any young person who is interested in contributing to this critical conversation to talk with their school administrator about how they can help".

Instead, Vadnais said she would like the walkout to last for 18 minutes, one for each victim and one that is universal for all people murdered in mass shootings.

"They're totally in support of us", she says. He acknowledged a walkout would show a message of solidarity.

Lafayette Parish administrators recognize the significance of the National School Walkout, scheduled for March 14, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. Students in all schools will be allowed to participate peacefully in the 17-minute walkout without fear of disciplinary consequences.

"Hearing some of the students that were impacted at Stoneman Douglas that were speaking out the first day, that was something I don't really recall ever seeing before on any of the prior occurrences", Kemper said.
