Pomona High School student Alexander Groen reacted to the murder of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway by creating a program that will rely on high school students to help protect younger children.
Groen, 16, a member of his school's student council, is asking students at five Jefferson County high schools — Pomona, Arvada West, Ralston Valley, Arvada and Standley Lake — to stand watch at the end of each school day at 28 area feeder schools, he said. They will be dressed in purple shirts donated by community members and emblazoned with the logo "Jessica's Angels." Purple was Jessica's favorite color.
So far his idea, spread by Pomona students on Facebook and by word of mouth, has resulted in $300 in cash donations and a pledge by T-shirt supplier Color Concepts Apparel to make shirts at a reduced rate, Groen said. Pomona student council and National Honor Society members will kick off the program Monday. Groen expects the program to spread.
"This crime has reminded us that we really are one community," Adams 50 superintendent Pamela Swanson said.
