Fruitland — The Fruitland School District will hold a Rachel’s Challenge seminar at 7 p.m. Jan. 14 at the Fruitland Middle School commons.
The event is open to all who wish to attend.
Rachel’s Challenge is named for Rachel Scott, the first person killed at Columbine High School April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America.
Powerful video/audio footage of Rachel’s life and the Columbine tragedy is presented during a one hour school presentation that motivates students to positively change the way they treat others.
This is followed by an interactive 45-minute training session involving both adult and student leaders that shows how to sustain the momentum created by the assembly. The assembly creates the “want to” or desire for positive change. The training session teaches the “how to” and ensures that the positive impact will continue.
