Sgt. Rich has spent the past seven years traveling the country and speaking to more than 500,000 students and their parents on the topics of technology and cyberbullying. He has been featured on Good Morning America, Fox 5 News and the Nancy Grace Show.
Sgt. Rich spoke to parents at a Parents Association meeting, then with Middle School and Upper School students in special assemblies during the day. The presentation was an important component of the school’s new Health & Wellness initiative, and envisioned as an informative lecture for both parents and students on how to best protect your child and yourself online.
