SPARK Message: Debbie Fresch's Tragic Loss

With the end of the school year approaching, CISD with SPARK is providing this video to help families and students discuss the importance of making wise decisions.

Debbie Fresch lost her son the summer before his junior year in a tragic accident that involved students driving while under the influence of alcohol. We hope that you will view the video; Ms. Fresch shares her perspective and her family’s terrible loss.

We have shown the video to classes at both Carroll High School and Carroll Senior High School, so your student may have already seen the video. If he/she missed it, please take this opportunity to watch the video with your student and discuss this issue.
