At Fremd, the well-being of our students is our top priority. This month, we are launching our "Start the Conversation" initiative to raise awareness and promote suicide prevention. Embracing our values of being mighty, brave, and bold, we encourage students to recognize warning signs and reach out to trusted adults for support. We invite you to join us in creating a safe and supportive environment where all students can thrive.

We have also encouraged students to utilize the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 when they are not in school. They can also access 988 through online chats: https://988lifeline.org/.
