Rachel Whatley and 2nd Graders
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."
