Washington, D.C., is usually buzzing at this time of year with groups of high school students who have flocked to the nation’s capital for the March for Life. But the event will be held virtually this year due to public health and safety concerns, so schools and their students are marking the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade a bit differently. When the march’s organizers announced on Jan. 15 that they would move the event online, Jesuit high schools across the country sought to find creative ways to help students honor life at all stages.
