2/Century Elementary teachers Chelsie Weeding and Tarja Nelson (back seat), Jodi Erickson and Brianne Morris rode together to "Light Up the Field," bearing signs telling students, "We miss you ... Keep reading ... You are pawsome."

4/Century Elementary teacher Brianna Anderson drove to Monday's "Light Up the Field" rally sporting multi-colored hearts and a sign saying that her "students rock."
5/Park Rapids High School Principal Jeff Johnson and his wife, Stacy, traveled to Monday's rally with a scarf on their hood in "Panther pride" colors. He explained that school staff planned on driving onto the athletic field, "surrounding the football field area with their cars and lights on, in support of our students, our community and our parents."
