- Five October Glory maple trees were planted, each dedicated to a child killed in the 1989 schoolyard shooting.
- The five children were refugees, mostly Southeast Asian, a fact survivors say deepens the community’s loss.
- The event featured the Instrument of Hope, a trumpet crafted from bullet casings in a quantity equal to those used in the Parkland school shooting.
