Students at Leesville Road Highschool are organizing a school-wide walk-out against violence in school, namely gun violence.
After the attacks in Parkland, Florida and all over the world, it is apparent now more than ever that something needs to change!
We are planning this walk-out, March 14th, and asking other students too attend and demand safety in schools. We have talked to administration and the school board has put out a statement saying that no students will be punished for participating in the walkout, as long as we let the school know what we are doing.
We know this looks like an end too gun violence, and more.
This looks like:
-More resources for our teachers
-Better and more counselors
-No more School Resources Officers
-No more zero-tolerance policies for minor conflicts
-All gender restrooms
-Stopping the harassment of black and brown students
-Reforms to the sexist, racist dresscode
-and much more!
We are asking all students who are interested in participating in this walkout to sign this petition and let us know we have your support!

The school board confirmed they will not punish us for walking out but we must keep planning the logistics for that day. Text three friends right now to confirm they are joining the group on the front lawn. Message our instagram account if you want to help organize the specific demands we are presenting to the administration.

The momentum is building and the administration is starting to take notice of our demands. Post this petition link on your Facebook page and text three friends who need to show up with us.

"Let the Children Lead" So proud of these kids. They have the brains, the heart, the guts to do what the 'grown-ups' have not. #neveragain

I completely agree with this decision and I shall join. Us kids should be completely safe at school so we can learn and grow. Thank you for doing this and I can’t wait to participate!
about time. schools should be a place to learn not somewhere we have to worry about our safety. let's get it done.
this walkout is extremely important to make a stand against violence. it’s not okay. and our voices, as students, NEED to be heard.
This is very necessary, thank you leesville.
It’s time for gun violence to end, especially in schools.
