Rachel's Challenge
http://www.rachelschallenge.org
Rachel’s Challenge: Rachel’s Challenge is a program designed to inspire students to treat others with kindness and compassion.
Rachel Scott left behind an amazing legacy and a simple challenge to anyone who will accept it – treat others with kindness and compassion and you just may change the world in which you live. While Rachel’s Challenge is developmentally appropriate for children at the middle school level, the content can evoke strong emotions for some students. This helps spur students to embrace the concepts of kindness and compassion. I urge all parents to learn as much as possible about Rachel’s Challenge. To do so log on to www.rachelschallenge.org

Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20th, 1999. Rachel’s acts of kindness and compassion coupled with her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America today. Her brother, Craig, was in the library that day and lost two close friends and narrowly escaped death himself. A few weeks after the tragedy Darrell Scott, Rachel’s father, spoke to a Congressional House Judiciary Committee regarding issues of school violence. His speech has become one of the most widely read on the internet. Shortly afterwards he founded “Rachel’s Challenge”, a bullying and violence abatement program.

Rachel’s Challenge consist of powerful audio/video footage that holds students spell-bound during the one-hour school presentation which motivates participants to make a positive change in the way they treat others.
