On a day when thousands of students nationwide were walking out of their schools in response to gun violence and the shootings in Parkland, Fla., high school students in Yonkers, N.Y., assembled in their gymnasium to participate in an assembly organized by the administration.

Guezada argued that bringing students, administrators, and elected officials together on the day of protests could be more powerful.
