The theme of this school year has been "Celebrating Our Stories" and we are grateful to our friend and Business Sponsor, Rene Treece at @luxehousephotographic for her partnership and the beautiful ways in which her art helps us to share the story of Rainbow with you.

Rene is a gifted photographer and tells stories through her lens. Alongside portrait work, she creates fine art prints that are heirloom quality—pieces meant to last for generations and to grace the walls of homes as reflections of love, connection, and belonging. Rene's work extends into encaustic fine art and narrative projects that explore archetype, emotion, and community. She also offers branding photography that captures the passion and dedication behind a person’s craft or business, supporting creatives, small businesses, and organizations in showcasing their gifts with authenticity and artistry. At the heart of it all is Rene's belief that photography has the power to connect us, celebrate us, and affirm our place in the world.

We hope you enjoy this mix of Rene's portrait work and the branding work she has done for our school!

Twice a year, our eighth graders come together wit

Twice a year, our eighth graders come together with our first graders to partake in a sweet rite of passage called the Rose Ceremony. In the fall, first graders cross a bridge on our playground and are greeted by an eighth grader who presents them with a rose to welcome them to grade school.

At the end of the school year, our graduates cross the same bridge and are met by a first grader who presents them with a rose to congratulate them on completing their educational journey at Rainbow Community School and Omega Middle School and to wish them well on their journey to high school.

Moments of pause and connection like this offer students opportunities to celebrate and honor growth in themselves and each other.
