Shatter the silence: Speak up against school violence
Shatter the silence: Speak up against school violence
Join us as we strive to allow this everlasting problem to be seen. Students, faculty, parents and communities have all been hurt from these terrible events. This issue needs to be seen and shown more than it is.
A total of 1,453 school shootings have occurred since 1997, resulting in 383 deaths of students and/or faculty. Over half of these shootings are done by students attending that school.
So why are we not preventing it? Speak up! Speak up with us as we strive to create a safer learning environment and aim to prevent these horrific events from happening.
If you or anyone you know is aware of a problem occurring in their school system, please contact 1-877-903-STOP immediately.
