Join Us for Rachel’s Challenge on Feb 8 at FHMS!

February 2nd, 2012 at Thu, 2nd, 2012 at 9:03 pm by Carrie Unpingco

Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America.

Please join us for this free community presentation, especially if you know a student who saw one of the Rachel’s Challenge assemblies earlier in the day (Feb. 8th). This powerful and moving story will offer our students, teachers and community a chance to inspire each other and make a chain reaction of kindness and compassion. Please invite your family, friends, neighbors, and community leaders. This evening presentation is geared toward teens and adults.

Enjoy a family friendly dinner of mac and cheese starting at 5:15pm in the FHMS Commons. The Food for Thought folks are generously preparing the meal. A donation is suggested at the door. Hope to see you all there!

Please thank our sponsors who make this possible! San Juan Island Community Foundation, San Juan Island Prevention Coalition, Minor Reinforcement, FHES PTA, FHMS PTSA, FHHS PTSA, and an in-kind donation for the childcare location, Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church/Lighthouse Preschool.
