I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same.
- Rachel Scott
On September 23rd, all students and staff will spend the morning learning about ways to reduce bullying and school violence by promoting tolerance and compassion through a series of specific challenges. This training will be led by a nonprofit organization created in the legacy of Rachel Scott, the first person killed in the Columbine High School tragedy in 1999.

They will participate in a similar presentation to our students’ and be challenged to help us keep the momentum of our mission going strong all year.

That's the whole point of Rachel's Challenge to help people to look at themselves and see the need to make a change. It's encouraging that you want to start a chain reaction but remember it takes one day at a time. Just continue to be patient, with yourself and others.
