More than 20 students from Van-Far Jr./Sr. High School participated in the National School Walkout organized in lieu of the 17 students who lost their lives recently in the mass high school shooting in Parkland, Fla. Local students who participated in the 17-minute tribute that started at 10 a.m. spent that time holding hands and joining together in prayer around the school’s flagpole. Prayers went up for those lost in previous tragedies and for the future safety of all students and staff.
