Rachel
Whatley and 2nd Graders
at Bush
Elementary / Grand Prairie ISD
started a chain reaction
I am a first year 2nd grade
teacher at Barbara Bush
Elementary and I really wanted
my students to get involved with
Rachel’s Challenge and to
remember each day how important
it is to be kind to others. I
had bracelets created for my
students as a daily reminder to
start a chain reaction of
kindness and to treat others as
they would want to be treated. I
started a chain reaction by
giving these to my students and
they created their own by
passing out these bracelets to
every 2nd grade student and also
to each teacher in the school.

I will
miss you as well, thank you so
much for all that you have
helped me with and done for me
in these last couple months. You
are a wonderful mentor and an
even better colleague and
friend. I will be sure to keep
up with you and all the staff at
Quality Act for if it wasn’t for
you I would not have had the
opportunity to live my dream.
