We did a thing!

Kaleidoscope is a reformatted series created to give our community a closer look at the intentional work happening at Rainbow Community School and Omega Middle School. Through short videos and downloadable companion articles for deeper learning, we explore the ideas and practices that support students’ growth, independence, and love of learning. We’re excited to share these reflections as an invitation to learn more about our approach and engage in conversations within and beyond our community.

Each episode of Kaleidoscope can be accessed by watching a video or reading the blog. We also have a downloadable Companion Guide with additional resources!

Today, we invite you to check out Episode 1: Designing Spaces for Learning.
How do you design a space for learning? Click the Kaleidoscope Link in our Instagram Bio to watch or read this episode!

Critical Thinking - Our students practice the abil

Critical Thinking - Our students practice the ability to analyze information and experiences from multiple perspectives, helping them draw conclusions with a comprehensive understanding. They are empowered with independent thought and encouraged to voice their ideas and opinions and consider the thoughts of others.

You can see this come to life through the poetry and art our Omega 7/8 students have created in their study of the Civil Rights Movement. Students were asked to write a biographical poem about Civil Rights leaders in which they were challenged to consider and include: things the person may have loved, things they may have feared, and things they wanted to accomplish or achieve. Accompanying their poetry is an impressive gallery of grid portraits - a method of using a grid to help the artist replicate an image. The culmination of this work is beautiful and powerful - we highly recommend viewing it in its entirety!

You can view all the portraits and read their accompanying biographical poems at this link: https://padlet.com/jenarmo/civil-rights-biography-project-7rfr654fbeexg9bp
We'll drop it into our Instagram Bio as well!

Congratulations to our friend and Business Sponsor

Congratulations to our friend and Business Sponsor, Rene Treece with @luxehousephotographic, on the re-opening of her studio in the River Arts District! Did you know that this beautiful space can be rented for photography shoots, meetings, and workshops for up to 12 people? You can check out the space on Rene's website or Facebook page.

Rene is also booking spring and summer portrait sessions - an opportunity you don't want to miss! Luxe House Photographic is dedicated to capturing the beauty of family, children, and mothers to be through timeless, nature-based portrait photography. Most sessions take place outdoors in our stunning mountains, forests, and fields, though portraits can also be created in your own backyard. Rene's mission is to create imagery that stirs the soul and nurtures a sense of belonging. She strives to make portraits that reflect a person’s spirit and essence, not just their likeness, so that each image feels alive and deeply personal.
