Cadwallader Middle School students honor 1 October victims

Each year, Cadwallader Middle School Advanced Art students are provided with a photo as well as a brief biography of each of the 58 lives lost on October 1, 2017. Students use the information as inspiration to design a set of angel wings that they feel represents the specific person and their life.

The Angel Wings Project was started by Mrs. Christine Janette, a Cadwallader Middle School teacher and survivor, following the Route 91 Harvest Festival tragedy. In conjunction with the interactive art display, students, staff and the community are encouraged to sign a pledge to spread kindness through random acts of kindness.

The event is not only a tribute to those who lost their lives but also a fundraiser to support survivors. This year, donations will be split between the 55 Children Left Behind Scholarship fund as well as the Healing Garden located in Las Vegas.
