LAKEPORT, Calif. – Students of the Lakeport Unified School District on Friday heard from a nationally acclaimed voice over artist and motivational speaker about the dangers of bullying.

Michael Pritchard gave talks to elementary, middle and high schoolers – as well as parents and faculty – during the Friday presentations at the Marge Alakszay Center.

Pritchard has done voice work for episodes of Star Wars and Sesame Street, and worked alongside Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, Dana Carvey and Whoopi Goldberg, according to his Web site.

The Sheriff’s Activity League brought Pritchard and his message about being “brain wise and heart smart” and the importance of making wise decisions to the community’s young people.

During the presentation, students also had the chance to share their challenges – from bullying, on the Internet and in person, to the stresses and pressures they face in fulfilling their school obligations and getting into a college, and dealing with depression.
