Rachel's Challenge Presentation

Northwood Middle School- 2121 N Seminary Woodstock, IL (across from the McHenry County Courthouse) is presenting Rachel's Challenge on Friday 10/28/2011 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. “Break the cycle of bullying and start a chain reaction of kindness and respect.”

Rachel Scott was the first person killed in the 1999 Columbine High School shootings. Her brother, Craig, was in the library that day and lost two friends, narrowly escaping death himself. Craig tells Rachel's amazing story and the five simple challenges she left behind that can change the world we live in. This must-see program has prevented over 350 suicides since 2008, drastically reduced bullying, and in at least 6 instances has prevented school shootings.

NOTE: Parents are advised that the presentation will include images from the shooting and may not be suitable for small children.
