Last week, a bus carrying the school's marching band fell off a roadway, killing two adults and critically injuring five students.

It's unclear how many schools will take part in the show of support Tuesday, but photos have been circulating on social media encouraging people to wear green and help uplift the Farmingdale community as it continues to grieve.Farmingdale community remembers"pillars of the community" killed in Orange County bus crash

Farmingdale has already been showing an outpouring of support with green ribbons lining up and down the streets there. "Never lose hope in our ability to lean on each other as we move forward together," Farmingdale Schools Superintendent Paul Defendini said. "I think you're seeing the best of Farmingdale -- certainly last week, and you're seeing it again this week. That's Daler Strong," said New York State Sen. Steve Rhoads.
