MADISON COUNTY, AL - Teachers at Discovery Middle School came up with a creative way to help students cope with the tragic shooting that happened at the school almost two months ago, and it's turning out to be a hit with the middle schoolers. Students across the campus are sporting black rubber bracelets with the words "no regrets" printed on them. It's sparking a lot of new discussion in the hallways.

The idea behind the bracelets is to encourage students to cope with the tragic shooting that happened nearly two months ago by going forward with no regrets.

"I can look at the bracelet and say, yeah, this happened at our school and this happened to people's families and other people we know about, but I know I can still go on with my day and live life," said Natalie Thompson, a ninth grader.

After nearly two months since the shooting, celebrating life is something these middle schoolers said they were more than ready to do.

Elvin Woods, an eighth grader, says the bracelets are sparking a lot of positive, healthy discussion. It's something he says is crucial for younger students like himself, who will still be walking the halls of the school next year.

"When you're in the same building that it happened in, you know, you sort of feel it when you walk through the hallways and stuff. You know that it affected other people too, as well as yourself," Woods said.

For eighth grader Seth Parks, the bracelets make a tragic incident a little easier to deal with.

"When I see one on someone's wrist, I know that they remember and they still care about it. It makes me remember that we're still a family," said Parks.

All 1,001 students at Discovery Middle School were given a bracelet to wear.
