GA's Violence Prevention Campaign Flys High

The National Association of School Resource Officers says violence is on the rise at schools nationwide. Videos of school fights are popping up almost weekly in South Florida. 

Kids are fed up with incidents that traumatize and interrupt their education.

GA's new campaign serves to encourage youth to speak out against violence.

Not in our school! 

You may be able to spot our youth on billboards around North Miami this month!
