Rachel's Challenge

 

A Chain Reaction of Kindness and Compassion

A program titled "Rachel's Challenge" has been implemented

at the secondary level. Rachel Scott was the first victim in the Columbine High School shooting. Her father and over twenty other certified presenters travel all over the nation delivering the message of kindness and compassion, two traits that

characterized Rachel Scott.

We will not focus or discuss the nature of Rachel Scott's death, but focus on how she lived her life and the challenges set forth for us all: influence, goal setting, journaling, acceptance and kindness.

Students will be urged to fill out paper chains with statements of kind and compassion actions they have witnessed from others. The links will be chained together in each classroom. Joining all the chain together at the end of the school year creating a "Chain Reaction of Kindness and Compassion".

Please encourage your kids to show kindness and compassion towards others, especially those who are new students,

special needs students, or isolated students.

This was the wish of Rachel Scott.

 

 

Odyssey of the Mind

 

The Odyssey of the Mind (OM) is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members think out-of-the-box and apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They compete at the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program.

 

Ron Nunn Elementary will be represented by teams competing at the Regional Tournament on Sat., Feb. 25 at College Park High School in Pleasant Hill. The winning teams will then compete at the State Tournament on Sat., Mar. 31. Mr. Madrid is our school's OM Coordinator and each team is coached by parent volunteers. The competition is two-parts: 1) long-term problems and 2) spontaneous problems. Mrs. Lisa Siemers has also been helping to prepare the students for the spontaneous portion of the competition, where they will have to quickly and creatively think on their feet to solve a problem. Come out to see and support our teams. Let's wish them all Good Luck!! There is Nunn Better than our students!
