Now, all students, especially those
with disabilities, can make their way
through the hallway much easier.

improved safety measures. Now, all students, especially
those with disabilities, can make their way through
the hallway much easier. The previous hallway was
36-inches wide; it is now eight-feet wide.
Botetourt County Public Schools
Five years ago, Rachel's Challenge, an organization
created in memory of the first victim of the Columbine shootings, was brought to Botetourt schools to
help raise awareness on bullying. And it's been quite
a success.
"Students are more aware of each other and how
powerful their words are to either hurt or heal a fellow
student," says Summer Underwood, who leads the
program at Read Mountain Middle School. "We try
to bring awareness that every student has a story and
that a common thread of kindness can help anyone
who is having a rough day, week or month."
A group of teachers and students wanted to create
something that celebrated the accomplishments of
Rachel's Challenge in Botetourt. They came up with
Rachel's Rally, a community event that features games,
face painting, a cornhole tournament and other activities to brings students and residents together. Now in
its third year, the rally is held just before the James
River/Lord Botetourt boys basketball game, during
which the Richard Henegar Jr. Act of Kindness Community Award is presented to a deserving community
member.
"Richard is a former student who has done great
things through random acts of kindness," Underwood
says, so it was only fitting to name an award after him.
A FAIR FOR THE FUTURE
Students and instructors from the Botetourt STEM-H
Academy wanted to show future high school students
what it's like to attend the academy. Thus, the STEMH Fair was born. Held in October, the fair welcomed
sixth- through eighth-graders to experience STEM-H
activities.
STEM-H administrator Stacey Jones says students
participated in three activities from each strand of
STEM-H. For example, in the engineering strand, students worked with certain constraints to design and
build a tower.
"Students were challenged to think about how changing the shape of weaker items could result in stronger
material," she adds. "We hope that the fair will pique
some interests for students who were unsure what
STEM-H means and get them thinking about future
educational and career goals."
