7th and 8th graders in Washington D.C.

Our 7th and 8th graders are having a great time in Washington D.C. on their end of year trip! Yesterday, they started with a metro ride to the zoo. The metro at the zoo is the deepest in DC. Check out the picture of the kiddos on the elevator!

As Lewis and Clark Did

Fifth Grade - Canoe Trip

As part of their Lewis and Clark thematic unit, fifth and sixth-grade students at Rainbow Mountain recently enjoyed a three-day camping trip at Pilot Mountain State Park, near Greensboro. After pitching tents, their days were packed with exploratory hikes, journaling and whittling activities, playing Native American games, and sharing songs and stories around the campfire. A five-mile canoe trip on the Dan River was the highlight for students, teachers and parent volunteers alike.
