Rocky Point Middle School Students Take Rachel's Challenge

"Start a chain reaction," he said to the students. "Think about the little things that you can do to improve the lives of others"

The middle school PTA provided blue "I Accept" wristbands and shirts for students who accepted the challenge and the school has developed a Friends of Rachel Club to help spread kindness throughout.

130 students were chosen to participate in a Friends of Rachel training session. Those select students have taken the responsibility to help change the culture of the middle school and set positive examples toward other students.
