Sgt. Priscilla Silva is a Deputy Sheriff with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office who actually knew Jenny Lin. Sgt. Silva grew up in Castro Valley, (Jenny’s hometown), was one of Jenny’s classmates and completed her public schooling at Castro Valley HS. She has had training in Internet and Cyber Safety and has also served as a School Resource Officer (SRO) in Castro Valley. As you can imagine, many of Jenny’s classmates were deeply affected by her death and more than one of Jenny’s friends pursued careers in law enforcement. Sgt. Silva has always had a heart for child safety and will help us explore ways to use the internet safely, as well as take questions submitted by session attendees.
A virtual Scavenger Hunt / Kahoot game (with cool prizes:), run by our Student Leaders (Student Coordinators or SC’s), was part of this program as well.
