Around 100 Monticello High School (MHS) students gathered at the school's football field Wednesday morning. Additional police officers were on hand to ensure safety.

Roughly 500 Albemarle High School (AHS) students walked out into the bus parking lot. Several of those students told NBC29 that no matter what your political party affiliation is, everybody should want to make public schools safer.

University of Virginia students also walked out of classes to show support for the Parkland victims.

Students in the Shenandoah Valley are also participating in National School Walkout. They walked out of classes, but did not leave the school buildings. Superintendents at Augusta County, Waynesboro and Staunton schools cited safety concerns.

1. I wouldn't be surprised if Sessions sent truant officers out to arrest them

probably shouldn't have said that out loud...don't want to give the evil little Keebler elf any more ideas

2. I hope the University students also do the #MarchforOurLives rally.
