A string of red handprints stretches down the hallway Thursday, Feb. 12, during Red Hand Day in the Sweet Home High School Commons as Tanesia McDowell, right, supervises the action. Red Hand Day, sponsored by the student chapter of Amnesty International, is an observance dedicated to stopping the use of child soldiers in Africa. Students were encouraged to place their painted red hand on the paper and sign their names to support the cause.
