We at Halifax Elementary School were excited to have Rich Barnes visit us once again! Mr. Barnes’ presentation skills have been crafted to not only create awareness about the dangers of drug use and poor decision making, but also to foster an atmosphere of openness which allows students to speak up about their own struggles in meaningful, positive ways. Mr. Barnes achieves his connection with students in such a positive way, stressing the importance and dignity of every human being and offering a vision of a successful, hopeful, and happy future for all students. We look forward to hosting Mr. Barnes again for future visits.
