THE BLACKHAWK AND THE MOON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE PLANNED ORGANIZED WALKOUTS AND PROGRAMS ABOUT SCHOOL SAFETY TODAY.
IT’S ALL PART OF A DAYLONG NATIONAL SCHOOL WALKOUT. AT 10:00 THIS MORNING, STUDENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WILL WALK OUT OF THEIR CLASSROOMS AND OBSERVE 13 SECONDS OF SILENCE. WHY 13? WELL, TODAY MARKS 19 YEARS SINCE 12 TEENAGERS AND ONE TEACHER WERE SHOT AND KILLED BY TWO OF THEIR CLASSMATES AT COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL IN LITTLETON, COLORADO. IT WAS THE DEADLIEST HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING UNTIL 17 WERE KILLED FEBRUARY 14TH IN PARKLAND, FLORIDA. A THIRD AREA WALKOUT IS SCHEDULED AT THE BEAVER COUNTY COUNTY COURTHOUSE TODAY, BUT NO AFFILIATION IS LISTED.
