You'd have your head in the sand if you didn't recognize that there are students who come here from countries that sponsor terrorism.

Students walking out continuously to make a point is not as effective as if they would organize and write in to their local congressmen. At this point I would say continuing to march is overkill. They've made their point, so let's get back to studying and learning.

It's going to be a packed gym. They'll probably have their band playing on the stage, all of their students will be there and it will be a hostile crowd, but our kids enjoy that. It's going to be a lot of fun.

It's great to be good at a bunch of things, but colleges look for students who do one to two things exceptionally well.

We're proud of our students that they want to take part in something like this... and really try to help another community out.
