The connection that our older elementary students The connection that our older elementary students form with the younger grades is so sweet! Each class partners with another as Reading Buddies, meeting regularly to read to one another, share field trips, and engage in other shared learning experiences. The joy that comes from these connections is long-lasting!

Adolescents need places and spaces where they can Adolescents need places and spaces where they can be given the opportunity to be trusted with their own learning, to have some autonomy, to practice exploring what aspects of learning really light them up, to be given a little bit of space, and to be in charge of their own learning environment. In Omega Middle School, one of the primary ways that comes into play is through our electives program. 

Learn more about the value of an electives program in the adolescent experience by tuning in to Episode 9 of Kaleidoscope, Rainbow Community School's video podcast. Links to Kaleidoscope can be found on our website and in our social media profiles. Every episode includes a downloadable parent resource!

This week, students and families came together to This week, students and families came together to celebrate the sacred holiday of el Día de los Muertos. Students, families, and staff were invited to display images of loved ones at the ofrenda (altar), hold space together, and try handmade tamales and Pan de Muerto (bread of the dead). We are grateful to our Latine students, families, and staff for sharing this tradition with our community and creating such a beautiful altar. Shout out to Coni for making delicious tamales and to Los Nenes Bakery for the tasty Pan de Muerto!
