Rachel Scott was the first student shot in the Columbine shootings. Because of her diaries and how she lived her life, her family has started the organization called "Rachel's Challenge"...we are having Rachel's Challenge week this week at school.
We did an assembly Monday (awesome speaker...many tears in the crowd)...Powder Puff Game on Tuesday...Power of One discussions on Wednesday...and then Play Day (lunch outside and sold from area vendors) on Friday. It's a fun week for the kids...but most importantly some kids have really taken to Rachel's Challenge...kindness...start a chain reaction...random acts of kindness. Although I feel like a lot of my students are trying to act against Rachel's Challenge on purpose (for attention and what-not)...we still have one phrase that all students understand and most are supportive of.
Grateful for Rachel Scott...and what her life stood for.
