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

make schools safer.
Hodges joined three fellow student
leaders in memorializing the victims
over in the parking lot at Whiteaker.
In addition to telling the participating
students – maybe a third of the student
body at the school – about her cousin,
Hodges called on everyone at the school

to do what they could to change the cir-
cumstances for students who feel lonely
and alienated.
“Think about what would have hap-
pened if people had been nice to him
(the shooter). It might never have hap-
pened if people had listened to him
when he needed it most,” Hodges said.
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. After reading each name, the Boyd,
Hodges and others described the inter-
ests and work of those who were killed.
“People who were innocent died for
no particular reason and I wanted other
students to acknowledge what a big deal
it was and that it was horrifi c and ter-
rible,” Boyd said. “I’m afraid that people
are going to forget about it, and the peo-
ple who were killed, in a month or two. I
don’t want people to think ‘Oh, well, it’s
happened again.’ It’s not some thing that
should be happening.”
Asked whether they feel safe within
Whiteaker itself, both responded they
