Rachel's Challenge Bullying Program for Savannah Elementary School in DISD
We are fundraising to get the money needed to bring Rachel's Challenge to Savannah Elementary School. Bullying is a huge problem today and this program is designed to make a positive change in our children, school and community. Please help bring this fantastic and inspiring program to our school.
Rachael's Challenge exists to inspire, equip and empower every person to create a permanent positive culture change in their school, business and community by starting a chain reaction of kindness and compassion.
Rachel's Challenge Objectives for Schools:
- Create a safe learning environment for all students by re-establishing civility and delivering proactive antidotes to school violence and bullying.
- Improve academic achievement by engaging students' hearts, heads and hands in the learning process.
- Provide students with social/emotional education that is culturally relevant.
- Train adults to inspire, equip and empower students to affect permanent positive change
The purpose of the elementary programs is to encourage elementary school students to live a life of purpose, do simple acts of kindness and create a KC (Kindness and Compassion) Club to make their school a better place. There are multiple resources for teachers to sustain the impact of Rachel's stories in grades K-5 throughout the school year.
Stories from Rachel's life and adaptations of her writings exemplify her belief that small, deliberate acts of kindness could have an impact on the world and a profound effect on those around us. All topics are presented in age-appropriate positive language. The comprehensive curriculum component includes options to tailor a program to compliment the school's schedule and teaching environment.
