By ERIC A. HOWALD and DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes For Whiteaker Middle School eighth grader Alyssa Hodges, the events that led to student walkouts at schools across the country had a personal impact. Her cousin, 14-year-old Martin Duque An- guiano, was one of 17 students and staff gunned down at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Flori- da, a month ago. “To me this was a big deal because not only did 17 people lose their lives, their families were impacted,” Hodges said. “I wanted to bring out that this is some- thing that could have been prevented.” Students at both Keizer middle schools and McNary High School par- ticipated in student-led walkouts March 14 meant to memorialize the victims of the latest mass shooting at an American high school and advocate for change to The vdctdms of the shootdng at Marjory Stoneman Douglas Hdgh School dn Parkland, Flordda: Alyssa Alhadeff, 14, student Scott Bedgel, 35, staff Martdn Duque Angudano, 14, student Ndcholas Dworet, 17, student Aaron Feds, 37, staff Jadme Guttenberg, 14, student Chrds Hdxon, 49, staff Luke Hoyer, 15, student Cara Loughran, 14, student make schools safer.

Paris Boyd, another eighth grader at Whiteaker, led students out of the build- ing and was the fi rst to speak to the crowd over the megaphone. Boyd and the other organizers read obituaries and scoured social media to compile brief bi- ographies for each victim of the shoot- ing.
