Many area schools will be wearing orange and black today, January 27, 2026, in memory of 17-year-old Fairfield student Emmelia Miller who passed away in a car accident over the weekend.
School officials say that while wearing school colors may seem like a small gesture on its own, when schools across the region participate together, it sends a powerful message of unity, compassion, and support for the Fairfield Trojans and for Emmelia’s family and friends.
Community members are also encouraged to wear orange and black today as a visible show of remembrance and solidarity.
