They're calling for their eighteen year old classmate, Marcelo Gomes to be freed from ice custody after he was arrested on his way to volleyball practice. This student was in the car during the incident and says it's amazing how the community is coming together.

But I just hope wherever he is, he can see that he's love and you can see that all of this is for him, and we want him back in our classrooms, at our games and our bands and everything.
