Addiction and Vaping
Vaping, Electronic Cigarette Use, Juuling.... its become an epidemic across our country and in our schools. We have provided basic training to all school staff around the risks and impact of vaping, and offered assemblies to all FHS Students. A community forum was held for parents (thanks to Mayor's Drug Task Force). Franklin Middle School students are participating in small group presentations led by members of the FHS Student Athletic Leadership (SALT) Team. This is a problem we all need to work together to solve.
