Subject: Free Student Safety Program Request

Dear [Principal/Counselor/Teacher/Health Coordinator/Superintendent],

I'm writing to request that our school implement a student safety education program that's being used successfully in districts from Los Angeles, California, to Madison, Wisconsin.

Song for Charlie, the leading fentanyl education nonprofit, has created a free 20-minute film called Real Talk About Fake Pills for middle and high school students that addresses fake prescription pills containing potentially deadly amounts of fentanyl—a threat many students aren't aware of.

The program, developed with medical and mental health professionals and educators, includes standards-aligned classroom materials and the film at no cost to our district. Implementation is simple: show the film and use the provided guides.

You can learn more here: https://www.songforcharlie.org/page/youth-assembly-film Thank you for considering this important safety resource for our students.

What Happens Next

Most schools respond positively to this request—it's a mainstream safety program that addresses a real concern. If administrators have questions, Song for Charlie's team can speak with them directly. Many parents find it helpful to share this page with other families to show broader community support.

Share this page with other parents now—schools tend to respond faster when they hear from multiple families.
