Students protest school shootings, first protest since 1970
March 14, 2018: Students stage a walk-out at 10am for 17 minutes to commemorate the 17 victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Said GWHS Senior, Grace Bouton, “It bothers me when people say, ‘I don’t want to walk out because it won’t change anything’ This is a nationwide movement. I don’t want guns in this school, and I don’t want the teachers to be armed. I don’t want those 17 kids to go down as just another school shooting.” It was the first student protest at Glenbard West since 1970.
