Eighteen-year-old Brady Hartinger wanted to convey a message: One word can change a life.

 

A senior at Benicia High School, he made a two-and-a-half-minute video that shows the consequences of a rash act on a school campus, with the help of friends and the Benicia Police Department.

Hartinger’s video recently won a $2,500 grant that will help fund the next Challenge Day — an international program that inspires participants “to live, study and work in an encouraging environment of acceptance, love and respect” — at Benicia High on Feb. 27.

via Teens, parents work to make ‘Challenge Day’ a regular school event.
