Dieringer Heights Elementary School in Lake Tapps is hosting a community event for Rachel's Challenge tonight, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Rachel's Challenge is a national campaign to end bullying, based on the writings of Columbine High School shooting victim Rachel Joy Scott.

A quote used by the Rachel's Challenge website reads: "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go."

The Littleton, Colorado based campaign operates bullying awareness and prevention seminars in schools across America.

Dieringer Heights Elementary School is located at 21727 34th St. E. in Lake Tapps.
