Anti-Bullying Day


 Riley's "Student Leadership" class put together an anti-bullying assembly 
that made the news!  
Here they are preparing for the big day....
Riley is in the far, left corner of the pic - 
hand up, directing the painters.  :)


Here they are after the assembly -
the 2 guys in the front and back (who don't seem to belong in the pic)
are from a radio station - 98.7.
The guy in the wheelchair is the principle.  Riley is near the back, in front of
the big guy w/ glasses.  Find her yet??


Here is the link to the news broadcast:

Her leadership class also participated in "Relay for Life" on Saturday.  They raised $3500 for cancer research and their team captain was a classmate who is a cancer survivor.   They walked/ran around the HS track for 24-hours straight!  We are so proud of Riley and all the good things she is doing.

Can they take that show on the road??? Love it! I loved being in HS Leadership & feeling like the things we did really made a difference. I'm so glad Riley gets to experience that as well! <3 you Riley!

She's such a good girl! Isn't it fun to watch your kids make great choices and influence others for good.

Riley was always "anti-bullying" ! Remember how she took care of that little bully Janisse (sp ?) in Kdg ?
