WATCH: Local elementary school students make anti-bullying music video

Posted at 3:20 PM, Nov 27, 2017

Here's some warm, fuzzy news!

South Davis Elementary students joined together to make a music video to promote anti-bullying.

The video starred the fifth grade class lip-syncing  to the song "Give Love" by Andy Grammer.

The school's Bullying Prevention Coordinating Committee thought of a special way to unite the school in honor of Rachel's Challenge. 

South Davis Elementary along with other Orchard Park Elementary Schools are participating in a character education program called Rachel's Challenge -- a national non-profit organization that works to reduce violence. 

The goal of the program is to foster a positive and respectful climate and culture within schools.

A school representative said, "Each time a student completes an act of kindness in the school, at home or in the community, they receive a link to be added to the paper chain hanging in the hallways of South Davis Elementary."

Rachel Scott, who the organization is named after, was the first student killed in the 1999 Columbine High shooting.
