Yesterday, our Southwest Elementary students joined our School Resource Officers for a K-pop Demon Hunters Words Matter presentation! 🗣️💬

They learned how to recognize threats, violence, and bullying in their school. It was a powerful reminder that words and actions both matter in building a safe, positive community. They also had a great time singing along!

Thank you Officer Wilson and Officer Whitten for helping our students understand that "We can't fix it, if we don't face it."
