"Stay Strong"

Unknown students created these messages containing supportive messages for the Stoneman Douglas High School students following the mass shooting at the Parkland, Florida school on February 14th, 2018. The messages and drawings are written on various sized and colored pieces of paper and are posted on a wall.

The submitter provided the following about the artifact’s history: these were cards made for students at MSD after the tragic incident on Valentines day. Im not sure exactly who made these cards, but it appears to be children of varying ages based on the artwork/handwriting. These were hung on the gym wall during MSD's Dance Marathon to help motivate, and reassure students who were attending the marathon. these look to have been made out of construction paper, crayons, and markers.

Rainbows and hearts appear alongside most of the messages. A green half circle with yellow eyes is on one of the messages at the top. There are several smiley faces as well.
