TOR Accepts Rachel's Challenge
Rachel's Challenge exists to inspire, equip and empower every person to create a permanent positive culture change in our school and community by starting a chain reaction of kindness and compassion. Rachel Scott was the first victim at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. She wrote, "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same." This theory is the basis for Rachel's Challenge. We are incredibly honored to continue Rachel's vision and to make a real difference in our school & community.
Rachel's Five Challenges:
1. Look for the best in others.
Eliminate prejudice.
2. Dare to dream.
Set goals and keep a journal.
3. Choose positive influences.
4. Kind words.
Little acts of kindness=huge results
5. Start a chain reaction.
