AH Middle School Students Learn Cyber Smarts

Abington Heights Middle School students in Grades 7 and 8 attended an assembly program entitled “Cyber-Smarts,” featuring Ms.  Katie Koestner, a national expert on student safety and teen relationship culture.  She has appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine, The Oprah Winfrey Show, NBC Nightly News, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, and other national television programs.  She is the subject of an HBO movie and has lectured at over 1,500 schools in North America.  Her audiences have included the incoming classes at M.I.T., West Point, U. S. Naval Academy, Brown University, Amherst College, and many other top universities.  Her testimony on Capitol Hill was instrumental in the passage of federal student safety legislation.  She addressed the area of cyber-dangers and other technology concerns.
