Our Third Grade Otters are making a difference!
They held a food drive so that families in the area would have food during the Thanksgiving holiday.
What a food drive it was!
The entire school participated and brought in so much food, here’s what West, our 3rd grade teacher reported:
The pantry at children first went from being almost from almost entirely empty to so full that we had to stop unloading boxes!
Indeed! Rainbow Community School and the 3rd graders delivered enough food to feed over 200 children.
Thank you to the Rainbow Community for helping us with this project. We were moved when we found out that 1 in 2 children in public school in the city of Asheville do not have enough to eat. Rainbow Community School is definitely committed to helping make a difference right here in our Asheville community.

We Are Making Progress!
We are heading towards our goal of acquiring the church property. We still need help, though.
Take a Tour
We want our community informed. Staff, students, families, and the greater Asheville community deserve to know exactly what Rainbow Community School aims to do: expand the school to increase the good work we do.
We invite you to take a tour. Many in our community have. If you haven’t, our Director, Renee, has been leading tours these past few weeks. There were tours yesterday and today. If you have missed this opportunity, we invite you to call the school to see why we want to expand our school, what our vision is, and how we plan to get there.
Mark Your Calendars!
What: Rainbow Rising! ~ A West Asheville Community Celebration

828-258-9264
Come one, come all! We will have our fundraiser over at the church property to help us meet our goal.
Childcare will be at the current RCS campus.
Capital Campaign Update
We are making headway toward our goal!
As of yesterday, we have over $115,000 in donations, pledges and verbal pledges.
But we can’t let our guard down, yet. We still have a ways to go.
We still need to reach our down payment goal of $200,000.
After this, we will still need to make changes to the property to adapt it for the needs of our Rainbow Community. Those costs and repairs are $400,000.
This means we are counting on you to help us reach our goals.
(Note: The Capital Campaign is different from our Annual Campaign. The Capital Campaign is to help us acquire the Church – think The Three C’s. The Annual Campaign helps teachers have supply monies for their classrooms, helps the school fund scholarships, gifts and much more.)
