While participating in the walkout on March 14, sophomores Lexi Valdez, Naomi Davis, Maria Engemann, Tanner Sneed and Shayla Crumb-Potmesil sit and hold hands out of respect for the 17 victims of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting. #NationalWalkoutDay was trending globally on Twitter to cover all the walkouts across the country. “We wanted to sit down to make it better because everyone else was standing and talking and laughing, instead of paying attention to the ones who passed away," said Valdez.
