Secondary three, four and five students at Richmond Regional High School walked out of their regular classes in a climate strike on Friday morning inspired by the “Fridays for Future” movement that has been sweeping the globe. Organized by Jessica Coddington and Laura Goulet as part of their Contemporary World class, the strike follows in the footsteps of Swedish student Greta Thurnberg’s Friday Strikes for the Climate, which began in August 2018. The Richmond Regional students left the school Friday morning shortly after the school day began and marched to the parking lot near the local Maxi grocery store, where three students each gave a short speech.
