Wearing blue, over 100 students pose for a photo to show support.

On May 21, Hunter Goodman, a West Delaware Lambert student, was in a tragic accident. To support his family West Delaware High School students organized an event where they wore blue to support Hunter and his family.

Siblings Leah Goodman (9), Harley Goodman (11), and Malia Goodman (9) make a heart to show their love for Hunter

Over 100 students came out of their classes to take a photograph so the Goodman family could hang it on Hunter’s wall when he returns home.
