Forest View Staff and PTA are working together to bring Rachel's Challenge, the largest anti-violence, anti-bullying K-12 program in America to our school. This ground-breaking program will be presented through two events you won't want to miss:

Monday, 2/6/12, 6:30-7:30pm: Community Event in the Forest View Cafeteria for parents, neighbors, and community members to view a presentation with more adult content to help bring this positive chain reaction into every one of our daily lives. This presentation is a must-see! (Please no children under 13).
Tuesday, 2/7/12, 2:00pm: Student Assembly in the Forest View Cafeteria. Parents are welcome to hear how this age-appropriate program is presented to their children.
