We are proud to announce that the Olmsted Falls Middle School and Olmsted Falls Intermediate School will be sharing Rachel’s Challenge to their students and staff this year! In addition, we are hosting a community-wide presentation that we encourage everyone above the age of 12 to attend on Monday, October 6, at 7PM in the OFMS Cafetorium.
You are invited to come hear an incredible true story of courage and hope and experience the most powerful school programs in America. Rachel Scott, the first Columbine shooting victim, at our live Rachel’s Challenge community event.
When Rachel was 13 years old, she traced her hands on the back of her dresser and wrote in big black letters, “These hands belong to Rachel Joy Scott and will someday touch millions of peoples’ hearts”. Her life and writings have impacted over 15 million students in live settings in the last 11 years, and we hope you’ll be able to come hear the inspiring true story of hope, acceptance, and redemption.
Rachel’s Challenge is the largest school assembly program in America. It is designed to help school administrators, parents, and students create a safer and more productive places to learn and achieve. The goal is to motivate and equipt students and administrators to embrace new values of kindness and compassion so that no one is left behind because of fear and violence in their school.
It is our mission to eradicate violence, prejudice, bullying, and overall hatred in our nation. We are doing this by passing on the legacy of Rachel Scott nationwide in hopes that people will follow her example and accept her challenge to spread kindness and compassion to others:
Feel free to forward this invitation to your friends, family and colleagues, as we want to give everyone the opportunity to experience our program first-hand.
