Dear fellow Hanoverians:
On Thursday, January 29th, hundreds of Hanover
residents had the opportunity to participate in “Rachel’s Challenge”,
the unique program based on the life of Rachel Joy Scott, the first girl to die
in the Columbine High School shootings in 1999. With kudos to the Hanover
Foundation for Educational Enrichment for funding the program, I hereby offer some
talking points for your dinner table this weekend!
If a member of your family was able to view the program “Rachel’s
Challenge”, did she or he accept the challenge? Maybe you are not
sure. Ask! There’s a banner full of signatures at Hanover
High School to attest to the impact the program had on Hanover’s
own. Here are the components of Rachel’s Challenge:
1)
Eliminate Prejudice…by looking for the best in
others
2)
Dare to Dream – Set goals – Keep a Journal
3)
Choose your influences – input determines output
4)
Kind Words – Small Acts of Kindness =3D HUGE impact
5)
Start a Chain Reaction with family and friends
Did your kids “sign on”? How can you
support their efforts? What if you or your kids missed this
program? Go to www.rachelschallenge.com
for more information. It’s a community event…not to be
missed!
