SFPS Gun Violence Prevention Week
March 2 - 6, 2026

KEEPING OUR STUDENTS SAFE BY PREVENTING GUN VIOLENCE

For many young people, concerns about gun violence are part of the world they navigate every day.

SFPS Gun Violence Prevention Week raises awareness, promotes early intervention, and highlights practical steps that help keep students safe and supported.

This campaign is anti-gun violence, not anti-gun, and recognizes the importance of outdoor and hunting traditions for many New Mexico families.

We are empowering students to shape a culture of safety in their schools by:
Taking the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence
Use Say Something to report safety concerns.
Reach out if you need help with a conflict, stress, or other challenges. Talk to a trusted adult, or call 988 or another helpline.

Thank you for supporting Gun Violence Prevention Week.

Join us for hands-on fun on Thursday, March 5th, for Pinon's Family STEAM Night!.
