BARROW COUNTY, Ga. — In the hours leading up to classes resuming Tuesday at Apalachee High School, parents are leaning on every resource they can find. On Monday night, a group of mothers held what they called their “mama prayer time” at the school’s campus. Their silent prayers of protection and healing came in the hours before their students returned to class in the same place where four people were killed, not even three weeks ago.
