Challenge Day, Scott Rodman

Challenge Day at Fond du Lac High was Feb. 8th. Scott is the local coordinator this year. He was on the committee in 2009 and 2010. Both Vicente and Benjamin were participants as freshman in those programs. There are two separate videos on you tube. Challenge Day is an inter-active Anti Bulling Workshop to break down the walls of separation, isolation and loneliness that young people experience and to create an ambiance encouraging honest communication about issues that divide them. The first Challenge Day was held in Livermore California in 1987. Challenge Day will be held in the small gymnasium of the high school They will be led by two highly trained facilitators from the California based organization. They will host hundred students and thirty adult volunteers. This year’s program is sponsored by Open Circle UU Fellowship. Their budget is around $5,000. Gary Miller presented Scott with a check for $350 from the club.
