Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I have fielded several inquiries regarding
“Rachel’s Challenge”, the Columbine High School tragedy-based
program that is supported by the Hanover Foundation and scheduled to be held this
Thursday, January 29th. It is a powerful program and I am
psyched that it is coming to Hanover! Parents are wondering if their
children will already attend, if it is suitable for younger children, or if
they themselves will be able to go. With special thanks to Korrie Jones
of the Hanover High School Faculty, here are some further details for your
information:
Schedule of Events – Thursday, 1/29/08

evening program for all members of the Hanover community.
The Thursday evening program is designed and suitable for
adults and children ages 11 and up. Parents of children younger than 11 should
use their discretion as they decide whether or not to bring those children –
and certainly plan to take the time to discuss Columbine before the program.
All events will be held at the high school. There will
also be baked goods and drinks for sale to help raise money for the P.A.C.T.
(Pass on kindness; Act by reaching out; Connect with others; Teach each other
compassion and respect)/Team Room Program. Thanks to the HFEE and
supportive residents of Hanover for providing this awesome opportunity for our
community. See you there!
