Batavia High School will host the nationally acclaimed "Rachel's Challenge" on Wednesday.
It is a program that was founded by the parents of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the Columbine High School shootings over a decade ago.
Morning and afternoon assemblies will be held for the students, faculty and staff of Batavia High School and Batavia Middle School, respectively. An assembly for parents and community leaders will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the BHS auditorium, located at 260 State St.
RC student assemblies feature video footage of the Columbine tragedy and of Rachel's life -- with emphasis on her compassion and her desire to make a difference in the world. That is followed by 45-minute leadership-training sessions.
The public, evening presentation focuses on teaching parents and civic leaders ways to support, encourage and affirm postive attitudes and behavior in their children, for the good of the community and school environment.
Please contact BHS at 343-2480, ext. 2000 for more information. To learn more about the assembly, please visit the RC website.
