The Harvest Hoe Down

The Harvest Hoe Down

What happens when you put an amazing community, fun activities, a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and a fall theme together?

You get an awesomerockin’ Hoe Down!

What a huge success! We had cakewalks, facepainting, inflatables, music and so much FUN!

The proceeds will benefit our school.

Capital Campaign Update:

We also wanted to update you on our progress for the Capital Campaign: we stand at $65,000. We have until December 20th to reach our goal of $200,000 to buy the adjacent church property.

Opportunity for Grandparents!

Opportunity for Grandparents!

Grandparents:  Do you look forward to attending Grandparent’s Tea? Please come to the grandparent event at the Princess Anne Hotel this Sunday, from 2pm to 4pm.  Grandparents are an integral part of the community at Rainbow.

If you have attended Grandparents’ Teagranparent Tea 1 in the past, you know that we split grandparents into two groups and hold Grandparents Tea on two different days.  Why the hassle of holding it twice?  Simply because we didn’t have a room large enough for everyone.   The multipurpose room could only house enough tables and chairs to seat about half grandparents who attend.   Unfortunately, our space issues have escalated to such a degree this year that now there is no space for it at all!  Therefore, Grandparents Tea is not being scheduled for this year!

As sad as that is, there is much to look forward to!  By this time next year, we hope to be in a space large enough to hold a lot of great community events.  Not only will there be enough space for all grandparents to be in the same room, but for their grandchildren to join them for tea and treats.

This Sunday, from 2pm to 4pm, is a lovely grandparent event we hope you will attend.  The Princess Anne Hotel is hosting it, with a wonderful selection of wine, beer, and horse devoirs provided.  There will be a short, entertaining presentation on Rainbow’s growth, and the opportunity to purchase of the West Asheville Church of God.  It’s a great way to learn how to make this dream become a reality.  Let’s make sure we have room not only for Grandparent’s Tea next year, but many other delightful Rainbow celebrations and events.

Rainbow’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Playground

Today was a special day at Rainbow Community School.

We had a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for our new playground!

The Chamber of Commerce came to the school to help us host the event and we gathered as a community to celebrate our new playground.

It’s been a long while in the making: all last year, our students found places to play everywhere except the current playground!

Our hero, Max, is really the one who helped make our vision a reality and a special thank you to him for being the go-to person for all things “playground.”

Enjoy an awesome picture slideshow of our ceremony today!
