Students at a Rock Island Catholic high school held a vigil this morning, one month after the Parkland, Florida school shooting. While students across the country held walkouts, Alleman students planned a service to remember the students and teachers who died.
WVIK's Michelle O'Neill listened to eight student leaders discuss the vigil and how they feel about mass shootings, starting with Clare VanSpeybroeck. The other voices belong to Olivia Best, Mya Coene, Chloie Jennings, Mackenzie Larson, Joey Miller, Rebecca Nonnenmann, and Anka Snider.
In addition, below you can listen to Mya reading a poem entitled, "Life Is Like a Rollercoaster" by Alex Schachter. The 14-year-old wrote it just two weeks before he died in the Parkland, Florida school shooting.
