Imagine was spectacular this year. The script was written by Rainbow teacher, Justin Pilla, directed by teacher, Dusty McKeelan with music written by parent Billy Goodrum. Additional music was provided by former Rainbow parent, Richard Gannaway.
All the grades worked together to put on this wonderful production of the seven domains. Puppeteer, Donovan Zimmerman, of Paperhand Puppet Company came to train the staff in puppet making and work with the students to build the puppets you see in the video. Marvelous.

What do our teachers do in their free time? Well, West, our second & third grade super star teacher is getting stronger. West had always loved climbing rocks but for the last 20 plus weeks she has been training for a natural bodybuilding competition. She started the day after her 31st birthday. West says she’s just been lifting, doing cardio and eating clean.
“I am down to from 21 to 8-9% body fat.” West states. She will compete this Saturday in the Carolina Supernatural Bodybuilding and Figure Championships in Spartanburg, SC.
How does training compare to teaching second and third graders? “This is one of the hardest and most disciplined things I have ever done! I’m looking forward to it being over.” But West will be back teaching third grade next year and probably eating victory cake this Sunday. We’re proud of you, West!
