Mishawaka students holding Christmas vigil for Sandy Hook victims

Posted:

By Amanda Johnson, Multimedia Journalist - email

The Sandy Hook tragedy has inspired two local teens to help everyone coping with the shooting.

The Mishawaka High School students are planning a Christmas Carol vigil, in honor of those killed at the elementary school.

They say no one should be forgotten during the holidays.

"Everyone's invited to come out. It'll be a nice night to kinda honor everyone and please bring a candle. It's so the families know that we're together with them and know that we want to help them through it," says Mishawaka student Jake Cole.

The vigil will be at 7:00 pm in Batell Park Christmas Day.
