Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Thursday, January 29th, hundreds of Hanover
\nresidents had the opportunity to participate in “Rachel’s Challenge”,
\nthe unique program based on the life of Rachel Joy Scott, the first girl to die
\nin the Columbine High School shootings in 1999.  With kudos to the Hanover
\nFoundation for Educational Enrichment for funding the program, I hereby offer some
\ntalking points for your dinner table this weekend!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If a member of your family was able to view the program “Rachel’s
\nChallenge”, did she or he accept the challenge?  Maybe you are not
\nsure.  Ask!  There’s a banner full of signatures at Hanover
\nHigh School to attest to the impact the program had on Hanover’s
\nown.  Here are the components of Rachel’s Challenge:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1)     
\n<\/span><\/span>Eliminate Prejudice…by looking for the best in
\nothers<\/p>\n

2)     
\n<\/span><\/span>Dare to Dream – Set goals – Keep a Journal<\/p>\n

3)     
\n<\/span><\/span>Choose your influences – input determines output<\/p>\n

4)     
\n<\/span><\/span>Kind Words – Small Acts of Kindness =3D HUGE impact<\/p>\n

5)     
\n<\/span><\/span>Start a Chain Reaction with family and friends<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did your kids “sign on”?  How can you
\nsupport their efforts?  What if you or your kids missed this
\nprogram?  Go to www.rachelschallenge.com
