Challenge Day provides unique learning experience for participants

When asked if they have ever been a part of gossip and rumors, nearly every student in the room raises their hand.

Select Lafayette students and staff members were chosen to participate in Challenge Day Sept. 13, which in other words is a day for students to connect and show compassion toward each other. Assistant Principal Mandy Lewis was in charge of the event.

“I believe that Challenge Day sent out a message to be more inclusive and understanding.  People have a variety of life experiences that are positive and negative, therefore we shouldn’t judge each other,” Lewis said. “It can be a powerful experience for those participating and has positive long-term effects.”
