National Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity
Every day, 3,000 innocent lives are taken because of abortion.
On Tuesday October 16, CAHS Students for Life, along with students across the country, will be taking a vow of silence (outside of class time) in solidarity with those whose voices have been silenced forever because of abortion. Students are invited to wear a red tape armband with the word LIFE on it. We will have tables outside the front and back entrances of the school before 0 and 1st period where we will be handing out the Life tape as well as flyers to explain our silence.
Join us in this opportunity to remember all those who have been lost or hurt by abortion.
