GHS Hosted Out of the Darkness Walk
Glassboro High School’s Interact and Friends of Rachel clubs hosted Out of the Darkness, a suicide prevention and awareness walk, in November. GHS Select Choir and National Honor Society members also walked in the event. They were joined by staff, parents, police officers and other community members. The event raised more than $150 for the cause.
According to GHS Interact adviser Tina Spadafora, this is the third year that the school has taken part in such an event. In prior years, GHS groups walked with a larger group as part of what is known as the Gloucester County Out of Darkness Experience.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention helps communities organize Out of Darkness walks across the nation. The AFSP website notes, “While this year’s events may look a little different, our mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide has not changed.
Glassboro High School seniors Salma Ventura and Madison Ragsdale joined other students, staff, parents, police officers and community members in the school’s Out of Darkness walk in November.
