Time To Remember Rachel’s Challenge

On February 25, 2016, we welcome Rachel’s Challenge to our school to promote tolerance and respect for all. The entire day will be dedicated to recognizing and ending bullying, promoting acceptance of others, recognizing the importance of simple acts of kindness, and so much more. This will take place throughout the school day and at 6:00 pm we will be welcoming families and members of the community to watch the presentation.
