Join us in celebrating each class as they graduate into their next year of learning and growing! We are especially excited to hear our 8th graders present their Graduation Talks to the Rainbow Community. Many of our 8th graders have been at Rainbow since preschool and all of them will have inspiring stories to tell of how they came of age right here within this transformative community of educators, parents, friends, mentors, counselors, family, and changemakers.
All students will need to arrive around 6:00 pm. The ceremony will start at 6:30 pm in the front yard.
After the ceremony, we will gather for treats and celebration out on the Rainbow Community School playground!

Join us in the Rainbow Community Center to witness our youngest little Rainbows step into their new realm of learning. Our graduation gathering will be followed by a picnic in the outdoor classroom. All are welcome to celebrate the leaps and bounds our Turtles and Dragonflies have taken this past year. They are emerging from this year of Preschool confident in themselves and their relationships, ready to talk about their feelings and activate their dreams.
Please note that the picnic is B.Y.O.L. (Bring Your Own Lunch!)

While you peruse the 1st Annual Rainbow Flea on Saturday May 21 drop your car off at 60 State Street from 10am to 1pm to have it washed!
Student Council is self-organizing this car wash to benefit the activity #adventurebus fundraiser! Rainbow students are eager to have their very own bus, so they can spend more time outdoors basking in nature and fine tuning their scientist, environmentalist, and naturalist skills!
As conscientious citizens of this planet our 4th, 5th and 6th grade student council members will be washing cars using homemade and eco-friendly soap and a minimal amount of water. Come enjoy a guilt free car wash while you explore our flea market, knowing your generosity will help hundreds of Rainbow students connect to the natural domain on their new activity bus!
