Wednesday, March 14th, is the one-month anniversary of a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that took the lives of 17 people, and students throughout the nation walked out of their classrooms for 17 minutes at 10am, in honor of those victims.  The 17 minutes is recognizing one minute for each person that died in the mass shooting.

High School students in Fishers participated in the walk-out, under threat of disciplinary action by Hamilton Southeastern School Corporation officials

At HSE High School, students attending the walkout ceremony said about 400 of their fellow students chose to walk-out of their classes.

I understand there was a walkout at Fishers High School, but I have no further information on that at this time.
