Thirty-one Bryant students recently attended the 2014 Arkansas Youth Summit, designed to address various issues facing the state’s children.
Those in attendance included Jonah Barnett, Madison Berryman, Luke Brantley, Luke Brock, Spencer Callicott, Lily Cheak, Kori Dement, Alex Denker, Brianna Douglas, Morgan Dreher, Hannah Glover, Emily Henson, Devin Hester, Kaitlyn Higgs, Mary Grace Hill, Jaisa Hogue, Kyle Lovelace, Mackenzie McEntire, Alexa Milam, Victor Nguyen, Zarah Nurhomamed, Hannah Pelton, Jazzmyn Peterson, Sadie Powers, Christina Ramos, Natalie Ramos, Madison Schrader, Jimbo Seale, Sarah Shepard, Reagan Smith, and Hailey Squires.
This year’s theme was “Take a Stand Against Bullying” and featured a presentation from Rachel’s Challenge (www.rachelschallenge.org ).
Rachel’s Challenge is a program inspired by Rachel Scott, the first victim of the Columbine High School shooting. The program promotes anti-bullying, kindness, and school unity and will be coming to Bryant High School in September.
Bryant High School’s Student Senate members are working to raise funds for the program by sponsoring a 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, April 12. Registration is $10 and will begin at 8 a.m., at the Mills Park pavilion in Bryant. The race will start at 8:30.
All proceeds will go toward paying for the Rachel’s Challenge clinic. Everyone is invited.
