The BVT Friends of Rachel Club was formed group of
students who were inspired by a Rachel’s Challenge program presentation made during
the 2010-11 school year. The program is named after Rachel Scott, who was the
first person killed during the horrific massacre at Columbine High School in
1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled
with the contents of her personal diaries have become the foundation for the
life-changing program which has had a profound effect on Valley Tech students. The
Friends of Rachel Club formed as a means for the students to perpetuate the
program’s positive message by practicing random acts of kindness.
