Memorials for the victims of Apalachee tragedy

The Issue

In honor of the victims who tragically lost their lives during the Apalachee school shooting, the highschool should add individual memorials for each victim. We need enough signatures to show the school that the community agrees this is a way we would like to remember them. Each memorial should correlate with something that each individual was passionate about. For Coach Aspinwall, I think the football stadium, fieldhouse, or something coaching related should be renamed to the Aspinwall Memorial Stadium/Fieldhouse/etc. In addition, any math club or dance club (since Mrs. Irimie was also passionate about dancing) should rename the club or add her name to something that way she will never be forgotten for her bravery and kindness. For Christian Angulo, his family should be able to decide and discuss with the school what part of the school would be the best to memorialize for him according to something he loved. Whether this be a bench somewhere along the school his friends and loved ones can sit with him or a room where children meet with their friends and socialize. For Mason Schermerhorn, his family should also have the opportunity to decide how to memorialize him at the school. If Mason was passionate about gaming, friends, gardening, etc. then that should be considered when making his memorial that way people can do what these individuals loved with them in mind. 
For the individuals who were injured, there should be something done to honor the fight they put up and the bravery they had during this tragic event. Lastly, every student and staff that was present at that school during the event should be recognized for their dedication to protect one another while experiencing extreme amounts of fear. I am very proud of everyone and would love to see them supported. #lovewillprevail
