Letter to the editor,

On behalf of Riverside Middle School, I would like to invite parents and community members for apresentation of Rachel’s Challenge on Thursday, Jan. 19 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the The Hurley Auditorium at Riverside Middle School.

Rachel’s Challenge is a program created by the parents of Rachel Joy Scott who was the first victim of the Columbine High School tragedy. Rachel left behind an amazing legacy and a simple challenge to anyone who will accept it - treat others with kindness and compassion and you just may change the world you live in. We feel that Rachel’s message is a powerful and important one for our school community.

We would like to thank Lt. Mike David and the East Providence Police for their help in locating a grant to sponsor this event. There will be two assemblies during the day on the 19th and a training session for some of our students to become ambassadors for Rachel. Thursday evening’s presentation is geared for an older audience and younger children should not attend.
