Our Emmy award-winning "Back-to-School Essentials" PSA launched several years ago and became a viral sensation that is still relevant today. As students begin a new school year, we must take action to #ProtectOurKids. School shootings are preventable when you know the signs.
We remember the four people killed and others injured at the Apalachee High School shooting in Winder, Georgia, on this day in 2024. Our hearts are with their families and the community, always. We continue to #HonorWithAction.
