On February 12, students at Cape Central High School participated in Red Hand Day, the global effort to end the use of child soldiers. This photo and 300 red hands will be sent to the United Nations along with millions of others red hands from around the world as we stand in solidarity against this atrocity. This event was part of our community literacy event for February as together we continue to read and discuss: A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier.
