Ellis Middle School Creates a Chain of Kindness
Ellis Middle School students have started their own chain reaction after the 8th graders attended Rachel’s Challenge, a National program designed to encourage students to create a safer, kinder world. The program was offered at Sanborn Regional High School on Thursday February 8, 2006, and is based on an essay, “My Ethics, My Codes of Life,” written by Rachel Joy Scott, the first student to die during the shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in 1999. Rachel’s challenge to her generation is to show compassion and create a chain reaction of kindness by eliminating prejudice, daring to dream, choosing positive influences, using kind words, and starting a chain reaction with family and friends.
Ellis Student Council started their own challenge and the middle school students are creating a paper chain; each link is filled with an act of kindness. The goal is for the chain to loop around the school. Student Council Members, Ashley Barker, Haley Lundgren, and Brandie Rice created a slide show media presentation which they have shown to all middle school students and teachers at a community meeting, and to the Fremont School Board on Thursday, February 22, 2007. They have been asked to present their challenge to the community at Saturday’s town meeting on March 10, 2007, and to invite the elementary school to create a similar chain. Any community members who want to contribute paper links may drop them off in the front office. For more information on Rachel’s Challenge please visit www.rachelschallenge.com.
