Kindness & Compassion Added to Curriculum In Huron Schools “Treat others with kindness and compassion and you may change the world you live in,” is the challenge being placed upon third through twelfth grade students within the Huron City Schools as they attended the Rachel’s Challenge presentations earlier this week. The program challenges students to look for the best in others, choose positive influences and refuse to judge someone based on a first impression. The program is modeled after Rachel Scott’s life and writings. In the day’s right after the tragic shootings at Columbine High School in 1999, Rachel Scott became known as the first victim. But in the years since, her legacy has become one of faith and inspiration. Before she became a victim of the infamous highschool shootings, Rachel Scott wrote the words that would become a movement: “If one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction.” The Rachel’s Challenge organization compares her life to that of Anne Frank. Both girls died in their teens, and both boldly changed the world through their journals. Six of Rachel’s journals were found and inspirational messages were pulled from the journals to help create the presentation brought to the Huron students. Her message has now reached more than 18 million people worldwide. A friend of the Scott family, Dave, came
from Colorado to Huron to present the challenge. On Tuesday morning, Dave relayed a very age appropriate presentation to the Woodlands Intermediate students. The focus was on how she lived her life and the challenges of: influence, goal setting, journaling, acceptance & kindness. The students were very absorbed in Dave’s presentation and set personal goals of “being kind to everyone” and “helping others do the right things.” On Wednesday, Dave visited the High School and McCormick Junior High. The message was a bit stronger as he motivated the students
to positive changes in the way they treat others. Both of the presentations were accompanied with pre-event questions and post-event follow up. The Wednesday evening community presentation was open to parents and community leaders to help sustain the positive climate change in the schools. Rachel’s Challenge was sponsored by The Huron Eagles. Additional programming has been developed and built into the curriculum this school year to reinforce the “chain reaction of compassion and kindness.”
The student body of Woodlands Intermediate School attended the Rachel’s Challenge presentation on Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Students learned the life story of Rachel Scott and her inspirational message of “treating others with kindness and compassion.” The program was brought to the District by the Huron Eagles.
