I think that the challenge day was a good way to let the students speak their mind. If WHS had a challenge day I do not know if alot of people would attend it. But maybe we could use one. In my opinion I think that on the challenge day alot of things are revealed. The challenge day is a good way for students to let people know how they really feel at school and out.

I really like it and I think that every high school should do it. Yes, I do believe that WHS could use a challenge day just a day to get everything out. To be honest I don't think alot of people would want to change, but would want to join. Nobody really know what goes on in other peoples life and us at school have hurt them or made their day worse. I feel that a day like that would make alot better.

That was really cool that things would happen like that in their school. It would be a neat expirament to try in WHS. The biggest problem in this school isn't fights or anything but gossip. It might change a few kids out here and there would be alot of them who will say that they will but within a few days to a few months they would find their way back to the same old thing. A lot of people have nothing better to do but talk about things they might not know anything about.
The Challenge Day was an excellent idea. I think every school should have one. I do strongly believe that we need a Challenge Day here at WHS. It would be alot of work to get our students to work with each other, but I think it would be worth it. I think that the students of WHS need to get to know the others. Not just their apperances, but how they truely feel and the emotions that they go through everyday. If we had a Challenge Day I believe it would change WHS.

I really liked the idea of Challenge Day. I definitely think Windsor could use a Challenge Day. It would bring a lot of people closer and prevent a lot of the clicks that go around school. I believe that most of the student body would participate. Others, I believe wouldn't because they would think they are too cool to do it. Challenge Day would help in so many ways.

The idea of having a Challenge Day was a great idea. It was an activity that brought people of all shape, sizes, color, race, and beliefs together for one reason, to change. It would be a good idea to have a Challenge Day here at school. It would help people see how their classmates feel about certain things that go on at school. Anything can happen. I believe that we would get a good response out of our student body. Not everyone would be willing to participate but one makes a difference.

I think Challenge Day was a great idea. WHS should definitely have a Challenge Day. Most students get along at our school, but having a Challenge Day would help some of the people that have conflicting views. I think our student body would respond well to having a Challenge Day because if it helps to change only one person’s outlook on how they treat people, then it would have been a success. My only concern would be is that some people wouldn't take the Challenge Day seriously.

I think Challenge Day is a good idea. I think WHS could use a Challenge Day because WHS is full of clicks. They take advantage of others and probably don't see that they are hurting others. I think our student body would be spilt up. Some of the people would like to change and consider the idea while others would want to stay the same.

I though the Challenge Day was a great activity and brought many new outlooks and positive changes to their school. I think it'd be awesome to have a Challenge Day at our school. It'd be nice to see that sort of out come occur right here in the small town of Windsor. I think our student body would react about the same as the students in the video. When you get a large group of all different kind of people your bound to have those that are willing to change and those that aren't. I do think though that it'd be a great thing to try. Even though our school doesn't have severe problems like other with gangs and such, there is still bullying, teasing, and judgment. I'm sure it'd be a great experience.

It was ok. I think this school is fine the way it is. Eventhough there are a few bullies here. And were a few bullies here that just randomly show up one day. I think that way about it because it is not a big deal here. We don't have major discrimination problems here. I think they would be all for the challenge day project. In other words they would try to encourage people to join the group.

I think Challenge Day was a good idea. That was a day to see who has gotten picked on or a person that makes fun someone else to confront one another. I think that Windsor should have a Challenge Day because then the ones that gets tease a lot, and the ones that picks on other should talk to each other and tell them how they feel when that particular person picks on them. I’ll say that the student body would be happy to have a Challenge Day. If they have one they can have it in the afternoon.

I think that the Challenge Day was a good thing for students to experience what other people go through in their life. To be honest, I do think that WHS needs to hace something like a challenge day. But to be honest with this new administration that we have, and all these new changes and rules I dont think that they would let us do that. Well I think that our student body would respond very well to it, if you told them that it would be a party at the end!!!

I think that Challenge Day was an awesome successful idea, at least for that day. It seemed to really get to some people, I'm not sure if it would really change any of them, but I’m sure it's going to at least make them think about who they are and what they have done. I think WHS could use a challenge day along with every other school. I think it could have a great effect on students and people all over being that we all get picked on or talked about at one point in our lives. I think if the school took the day and said we could have a normal day of school or go to this they would get the kids in there and then grab them through all the exercises.

I thought Challenge Day was a good idea. It gave other kids in their school a new outlook on some people. I do think WHS could use a Challenge Day. The day could help other whom doesn’t socialize to socialize with other students. I don’t think it would be the great idea to students and some mite resist. However, for student who don’t resist to the idea it would be a good one to try out.-Alia H.
I think Challenge Day should be allowed in all schools. I think WHS could really use a Challenge Day, because some of the kids here are just crazy. I think our student body will not mind if we had a challenge day. The reason most people may not want to have a Challenge day is because they are afraid to express there feelings. I hope most schools decide to have a Challenge Day. Hakeem-dont post
I thought that the Challenge Day was very interesting. I definitely believe that Windsor High should have a Challenge Day. This event would help resolve issues among the student body. I believe that the students would really participate in this event. The students would share some of their feelings that they may have not shared with anyone.
-Bryce L.
I think that Challenge day was great! I think that WHS needs a Challenge Day, because some kids in this school feel like they don’t belong in this world just because of their peers at school. Just because some teenagers don’t say anything doesn’t mean that they don’t feel anything or feel like they fit in. I don’t think that our students would respond well with the Challenge Day

I thought the Challenge Day was like the name says, a real challenge. I thought, at first, nothing would ever change the ways of the people in the video. I am a realist, but this video changed my view on most things I thought impossible. I have always been picked on and bullied my entire life. I felt like I was alone all of those hard times. But this video has shown me that there are other people out there feeling my same pain. I have picked on other people as well. I think WHS could really use a Challenge Day. It might bring our school together. I honestly don't know how our student body would react if we held a Challenge Day.

I thought that the Challenge Day was a really good idea. It was cool to see people that normally don't talk to each other becoming friends. I think that Windsor High could benefit from having a Challenge Day. I think it would make more people realize how the way you treat somebody really does effect them. I think it would also help people resolve problems that they had with other people.

i honestly think that we should do this cuz this clique system we have at windsor is really bad, and the fued we have between juniors and seniors is rediculous!
Challenge day was actually a good idea. I think we should do a challenge day just to get our school to work together. I think we would make a lot of jokes and have fun if we had a challenge day. Some people would be all serious abbout it like it was the greatest idea ever and be mad at everybody for laughing. Ha ha it would be so hilarious.

I think that Challenge Day a pretty cool idea. I think that every school could use a Challenge Day. My reason for saying yes is that it teaches everyone that they can get over the differences that people have. Plus, I think that all cultures, clicks, and classes of people should learn from each other as well find peace in there differences. I couldn't give an actual answer for the whole school, but I think it would go well. James St. Peter
That was a really good idea. I'm not sure people at Windsor can take things too much a joke, but you never know. Maybe Windsor would take it seriously. Either way, we could use one. Some people would really get into Challenge Day, but others wouldn't.

I think Challenge day was very heart warming when I watch this video. Yes, I think WHS could use a challenge Day. Because it can help people come together and becomes friends. And It can also make the community a better to live in. I think our student body would feel happy to have Challenge Day.

I thought Challenge Day was sad. It was very heartbreaking. We could use a Challenge Day, but we wouldn't cooperate. That, and children here would just hang around with their friends and care less. Our student body would probably freak out. They'd probably think that they don't need to change, because they've been raised a certain way. Little stuff like that is what makes the world what it is today.
Challenge Day was very beneficial. I do not believe it would work with everyone in this school. There are just some people out there that are too afraid to show their fears or weaknesses to other people. The student body here would probably make a joke out of it. It might work if everyone works to make it happen.-NickPowell™╞U┘
I think that the Challenge Day was a very good idea. I do think WHS could use a Challenge Day but I'm not sure how it would work out. If you ever observe lunch periods you would notice everyone is with their own group. I am not sure how our student body would respond if we has a Challenge Day. I think that it would help some people but others would still go on with their same habits.

I think that Challenge Day, although it is a good concept, is kind of a feeble attempt. It can change many people's thoughts but but someone's character and personality won't change that easily. I think that Challenge Day in WHS is a waste of time. Students in our school can be very bad when it comes to being around someone they don't like. I can't even begin to name all the people that have hated me before I even spoke to them.
~Garf
I think that the Challenge Day was really sweet. I do think WHS could use a Challenge Day. Most of the students judge people just by looking at them and they do not even know the people they are judging. Our student body would take Challenge Day as a joke. They would not take it seriously and try to change themselves for the better.

I think Challenge Day really would make a difference. People these days, especially in these times, joke on people for every little thing just to get popular or get attention. I think WHS could use a Challenge Day for sure. I'm sure it will change a lot of people, maybe not everyone but it sure would change a lot of people whether you believe it or not. I mean this school right here, had 50 devoted students who made a choice to change to make their school and community better. This may not just effect friendship or people being nicer. But it lower gang activity, drug abuse, and even people on eating disorders. It really can make a change. One person can really change the world. One example, Jesus Christ. That's the only proof I need to make the world a difference.

This is the second time I have seen this video and it still moved me. I really think that WHS could use a Challenge Day because it could change many people. If I have not learned anything else I know that you can never day no until you try. I cannot say it will be hundred percent positive but I do know that someone will take it to heart. It only takes one person to make a difference.
~Andrea Johnson
I think that this video was very inspirational. In my opinion, Challenge Day is a very good idea. I do think that WHS could use a Challenge Day because there are some mean students here. Most of them might probably take this as a joke, but it really isn't. Being mean to your peers is not a nice thing to do. You ought to treat other's the way you want to be treated.

I think that challenge day is a very good way of expressing yourself and telling others how you feel and I also see that by watching the video it actually helps people. I do think that WHS could use a challenge day but it all depends if the people that go to this school will actually take it serious and not as a joke. I think that our student body would respond to it as just a way to get out of class for a day or just to see their friends or something like that. I honestly don't believe that they will take it to heart and listen to what people actually think and care about how they feel.-Cadeja Wilson
I like the thought of there being a Challenge Day. I think if we had one is should be an after school thing. I think every school could use one because it just gives you a chance to learn stuff about people that you never get the opportunity to learn about on a daily basis. Although, I can't really say that our student body wouldn't like it or respond to it, but I am not real certain with their reaction. Every now and again you need something new, fresh and different to open up people's eyes.

I loved how the people their actually made an effort to change. I do think that our school needs a challenge day because there is a lot of separation because color, clicks, and in some cases grades. I think that because we are a school that we should know at least a little bit about our fellow classmates, or even the people who sit at the other end of the lunch table. I honestly do not think a lot of the student body would even pay attention. We have very silly and immature people in our school, and if one person from a group of friends decides not to participate, then no one else in the group will participate either.

I think the challenge day was pretty awesome. I think we could use a challenge day because not a lot of people here are open minded. Its always about race or weight or looks. That's what almost everybody here cares about. Usually, you have a group of people that you become friends with in 9th grade and they're your only friends until you graduate. I think the student body would take challenge day as one big joke. Even if they took it seriously, most of them wouldn't care once they got back around their friends.

I think it was a good thing to do fro people. Yea I feel that our High School should try and do something like that to see how it will turn out. I think it would make our school a little better then it is now. I feel that people come out in try to express how the feel.If you truly want to change you will step out your shoes in make it happen for others and yourself. That challenge day will mostly like change a lot of people in this school system. Let me tell We had story to read in Mrs. Lankford class and she come up with this line game in the people in our class realize people are different but can be just like you. To me it made me realize a hold lot about people that i talk to and hang with too. The video really touch my heart more then anything.
