On the one month anniversary of the Parkland, Florida school shooting, multiple students chose to take part in the national protest that is #WalkOut. The national walk out took place on March 14 at 10 a.m. and lasted for seventeen minutes, to honor the seventeen people who were killed on Valentine’s day.
Jodie Katsetos, a sixth grade teacher at Arcadia Middle School in Oak Hall, Virginia, heard about the proposed walkout and offered an alternative message, #WalkUp, which has since gone viral.
