“Richard’s school assembly program was educational and entertaining. Our students were engaged and focused in on Richard’s presentation for more than forty-five minutes. In addition to the students his assembly program was well received by staff, parent and vistors to our school. ” Mrs. Lovalvo, Graebner School, Sterling Heights, Michigan

Testimonials from a group of schools throughout Northern Michigan:

“Several of our teachers felt the content supplemented our curriculum. As building principal I appreciated the emphasis on the issue of bullying itself. We, as a staff, are working on providing a “bully free” school.

Richard Paul made an immediate connection with the children simply by explaining why his arm was shaped the way it was. That put the kids at ease and helped them to focus on the message of his presentation. They laughed at the antics of his program…but more importantly…I saw a lot of nods of the head when told how they can handle bullying situations (I’m sure some or many have been victims themselves).

Richard Paul has a disability that is apparent as soon as you meet him. The students were all wondering what had happened to him. He explained his disability and then brought it into his presentation. He was bothered by a bully when he was in school. He gave them truth, wisdom, and courage.

Students could repeat the message when returning to the classroom.
Mr. Paul presents a serious subject in an entertaining and fun way for the kids. They paid attention and got the message.

Richard Paul’s presentation was very well received by staff and students of all grade level. In discussions afterwards, students acting, as bullies seemed embarrassed and didn’t seem to realize how mean that behavior is. We will be following up with groups for bullies as well as victims. Great Job!

The presentation had such a good mix of humor and serious dialog that he really held the interest of the entire group – 1st – 5th grade.

Bullying is such a current problem. Our students could easily relate to the topic. Richard Paul gave excellent strategies for students to use when they are bullied. Lots of good feedback”
