I have had the privilege of hearing Michael Dorn's inspiring Weakfish presentation on three different occasions. Mr. Dorn worked with our two school districts on safety assessments and school safety policy. During this time, he first gave his riveting presentation to key school administrators, law enforcement officials, community leaders and first emergency responders. He then gave his presentation to parents, school staff and the community. When I heard he was working with another school in our state and would be giving his presentation to parents and school staff in that district, I knew I just had to attend his moving presentation once again. These schools have learned so much from Mr. Dorn's expertise. He is one of the leading school safety experts and he truly cares about all children and their safety. Weakfish is a compelling story that discusses bullying and how it takes everyone to keep children safe - from bus drivers, custodians, office staff and teachers to principals and superintendents. His message is what all school staff and parents should hear. Weakfish touches the hearts of so many. Mr. Dorn is truly a phenomenal speaker. I was thrilled to be able to purchase a copy of this book. Not only have I read it several times, I have shared it with teachers and administrators in yet another school district who found the book to be compelling. This book is a must read for anyone who cares about making a difference in the life of a child.
