KC Award Recipient!

Tony Tobin has started a new program this year called Rachel's Challenge. This program stemmed from the death of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the Columbine High School shooting that took place in 1999. Rachel wrote a quote in her journal (that her father found after she died) that said, "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go." Based on that quote, her father started an campaign all across the country to encourage kindness, compassion, acceptance, goal setting and journaling.

Instead of doing the regular Trailblazer of the Month Awards, the school is now recognizing kids each month who have started their own chain reactions of kindness and compassion. Cooper was recognized at this morning's Friday assembly for recieving the KC Award.
He was happy to be standing up there with his friend Lorien!

After the assembly, the kids get to go into the MPR to stamp their hand print on the wall and sign their name.

Congratulations Cooper!! We are so proud of you, and you truly are a kind and compassionate boy!
