Preschoolers Lead The Way in Deep Breaths

Preschoolers Lead The Way in Deep Breaths

by | May 31, 2017 | Blogs

As we get ready to celebrate our K-8 graduating students tonight let’s not forget our Preschool friends, who graduated a week ago in a lovely ceremony held in the auditorium. This rite of passage began, as all things at Rainbow begin, with a centering. Four eager preschoolers lead the whole community in mindful listening, deep breathing, and a blessing of compassion. What followed was the sweetness of young children as they received their diplomas one by one, and then finished the ceremony with a celebratory song led by music teacher, Sue Ford. Our youngest Rainbow students then took a few moments to have one last closing circle with their teachers, before they ran outside to play with their parents at the picnic. Congratulations to all our Dragonflies and Turtles for a year of stupendous growth and heart-warming transformation.

Join us on Wednesday, May 31st at 6:30pm as we celebrate the transformation and growth of each of our students as they complete another milestone on their journey through childhood and into adulthood.

We are especially excited to honor the 22 eighth graders making the transition to High School this year. Before receiving their diploma, each graduating eighth grader will address their whole community with a self-reflective speech. Every year our graduates stun us with their insight, inspiring us into our own reflections on community, transition, and transformation.

Graduation will take place on the lawn of the Orr Mansion at Rainbow Community School on 574 Haywood Road, Asheville. Parking is available at 60 State Street on our lower Omega Middle School campus. Once the parking lot is full please be mindful of where you park in the neighborhood. Looking forward to seeing you at our beuatiful outdoor graduation celebration!

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!)
