Area students to participate in National School Walkout

A movement that started with one Facebook event post has evolved into a nationwide call for students to walkout of class at 10 a.m. Wednesday. The #ENOUGH! National School Walkout will honor the lives of the 17 people killed Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and to "to protest Congress' refusal to take action on the gun violence epidemic plaguing our schools and neighborhoods," according to the EMPOWER website.
