My brother shared information about Rachel's Challenge on Facebook a while back, and I have left it as something I wanted to comment on. Now is the time to make that comment. Rachel Joy Scott was the first person killed in 1999 during the Columbine tragedy. Rachel's Challenge is a school improvement process designed to create a culture of kindness and compassion. It has helped with suicide and bullying prevention. It is based on something Rachel wrote shortly before her death:
"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. People will never know how far a little kindness can go."
One of the principals of the challenge is to start a chain reaction. To show a little kindness, which in turn will lead to others being more kind and kindness spreads. Rachel's Challenge is a nonprofit organization out of Colorado. I would encourage you to check out their website.
