Rich presented to our grade 5 & 6 students and then to our grade 7 & 8 students on the serious effects that illegal drugs and alcohol can have on people, and had on him. His presentation was grade-level appropriate and captivating for the students. He was honest, forthcoming and sincere when presenting and answering the numerous questions posed to him. I would highly recommend Richard Barnes to any middle or high school principal that is looking for an appropriate way to inform their students about these critical subjects.
