Friends of Rachel

Moved and motivated, CHS students meet to form club to expand the goals set forth by Rachel's Challenge

Look for the Best in Others. Dream Big. Choose Positive Influences. Speak with Kindness. 

Start your Own Chain Reaction.

These are Rachel's Challenges, the powerful and emotional call to action from last week's presentation. The CHS student body connected with these challenges and 46 students met with presenter Cody Hodges to brainstorm ways to carry out this message and impact the school culture in a positive way.

Another 25 students met on Tuesday afternoon to formally start the Friends of Rachel club and start their own Chain Reaction. Guidance Director Dan Rubin, guidance counselor Lauren Dellelo and teacher Tina Hayes will serve as advisors for the club.

Thank you to K-12 Wellness Coordinator Katey Swanson, Assistant Principal Hank McDeed, Dean of Students Jim Goff, and secretaries Maureen Dickie and Heather Sullivan for coordinating the event. A big thank you to It's Too Cool for allowing CHS to use its screen for the assembly. Kudos to Jim Duncan (technology) and the custodial/facility staff for the set up.

What an amazing event!

Hundreds of students have been signing the "I Accept Rachel's Challenge" banner at lunch. See below.
