On October 12, Blythewood Middle School is hosting an anti-bullying and empathy program called "Rachel's Challenge". Some of the LCE students will be moving up to BMS next year, and we would like to invite you all to experience this community event so that you may see what students will have to look forward to. It is a life-changing event that will bring our students and community together.
Rachel’s Challenge is a program created to equip and inspire individuals to replace acts of violence, bullying, and negativity with acts of respect, kindness, and compassion. It provides our school with curriculum to use in advisory, materials to start a kindness student club (Friends of Rachel), a sports program called Valor before Victory, and much more! The program is based on the life and writings of Rachel Joy Scott who was the first victim of the Columbine school shootings in 1999. You can learn more at Rachel's Challenge.
Our event will be from 5-8pm at BMS on Thursday, October 12. We will have food trucks, a silent auction, and raffle! We have over $8,000 in raffle and auction items, including a 4-pack of Disney tickets and a full set of braces donated by Dr. Jernigan.
Thank you for your support, and feel free to contact me with any questions!
Thank you,
