A number of other schools joined a movement to turn on their stadium lights Tuesday night as they sought to provide a source of hope for their students.
Started on Monday night in Colorado, five stadiums turned on their lights for a short period of time to show students they were thinking of them, even as schools remained closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many more joined in Tuesday as the movement spread. Among those taking part in #BeTheLightCO on Tuesday were:

Responding to a challenge brought by @AdamCHSAA, and @CaraSyers AHS will light the field each night from now until the end of Wish Week as a symbol of how much we are missing each Warrior, and in recognition of how isolation may impact each of us.
