The 15-year-old company has had its eye on Frankfort for some time since outgrowing its Peotone base thanks to booming sales. The move to 9525 W. Laraway Road more than doubles the business’s space, from 7,500 to 18,000 square feet. With a staff of 25 artists, walkout From Page 5 felt to her like they were there to make them feel “intimidated” and herd the students toward the fieldhouse, where they were being encouraged to go for the gathering. Although the main goal of the gathering was to honor and remember the victims, Miller said when the 17 minutes were over she didn’t feel like that was the end of the conversation. “This was a really lovely memorial kind of thing, but we can’t just stop here,” Miller said. “And we have to keep talking about this and keep pushing for what we believe for change.” District 210 Superintendent Dr. R. Scott Tingley, in a request for comment as to why students were kept indoors during the preplanned printers, embroiderers, quality control, customer service and sales personnel, Same Day Tees creates screen printed and embroidered tee shirts, polos, hoodies, caps, jackets, jerseys, work uniforms, and more for businesses, organizations, nonprofits, sports teams, and other groups. “We do a lot of really complicated designs and cool pieces of art that most smaller shops aren’t capable of because they don’t have the talent or the equipment,” said Bolsoni. Frankfort with its extensive industry, ideal demographics, and the high visibility of the Laraway Road location offered the perfect headquarters for Same Day Tees’ burgeoning business. walkout, issued this statement via email: “Concerns from parents and administrators, along with recommendations from law enforcement were determining factors in choosing to keep the students indoors. Students were made aware of this update during the morning announcements, before the walkout took place; they were informed that they were not to leave the building. Although law enforcement and administrators were at the entrances, at no time were students physically prevented from leaving the building. The safety of the students is the district’s responsibility.” Teresa Stinnett, a former member of the Frankfort School District 157-C Board of Education, said she thought the students should have been able to leave campus during the walkout and expressed Bolsoni, who runs the company with his wife, Sandy, plans to expand the second shift by summer, increasing staff to 35 – 40 employees. The new location also will include a showroom where customers can explore samples and observe the printing and embroidery process. In addition to a variety of automatic and direct-to-garment presses and embroidery machines, the Frankfort facility offers space for a versatile 18-color press and new low water consumption, environmentally-friendly equipment. “These were the key factors we were looking for,” said Bolsoni. “So when the Frankfort location popped up, we jumped on it.” disapproval over the way the administration handled the matter, calling it “a shame.” “They’re using, ‘Oh, we’re fearful,’” she said. “Well, every other school that the kids are walking out of throughout this country, they probably had the same, the same crank calls saying something’s going to happen. But that’s what you have the police for, that’s what you have security for. You do not take away somebody’s right to dissent.” The Southwest Suburban Activists plan to co-host a local March for Our Lives rally with the Illinois chapter of Moms Demand Action at 2-4:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 24, at Breidert Green in Frankfort.
