Details: Rachel’s Challenge is a comprehensive multimedia program designed to curb neighborhood and school bullying while inspiring a positive, inviting school-wide culture. The presentations are based on the life and writings of Rachel Scott, who was the first person killed in the Columbine High School tragedy on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion, coupled with the contents of her six diaries, are the foundation of Rachel’s Challenge.

All Riverdale students, staff and administration will participate in a dynamic anti-bullying program on May 2nd with three assemblies (K-5th, 6th-8th, and High School), each specifically designed with age appropriate messages to motive students to take initiative to be caring and thoughtful in their interactions. The program also includes an interactive training session involving both adult and 100 student leaders. The training demonstrates ways to sustain the positive momentum created by the student assemblies.

During the evening event, the certified Rachel’s Challenge speaker will conduct a powerful session with parents and community members. The dynamic evening presentation ends with a specific challenge to parents and to community members showing them how they can reinforce the decisions our youth make daily. All Riverdale staff, students, parents and community members are invited to learn how they can help contribute to a healthier, safe neighborhood and school climate for all our children.
