Hello Rainbow Creek Families! 

What a busy week at Rainbow Creek! As a learning community we are working on sharing out ideas and formalizing our Positive Behaviour Interventions and Supports (PBIS) matrix. We are working on what it means to be Accountable, Respectful, Caring, and Safe. Our students and staff worked together to define what it means to be SAFE at school. In classrooms, on the playground, in the hall, and in our facility spaces.  
 
Our Colour House Day was so much fun as we jumped for health and heart, shared messages of welcome, kindness, caring, and love with sidewalk chalk at the front of our school, and created heartfelt messages for our new families and students who will be coming to RCE in the fall to be shared at our open house on May 13.  
 
Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend! 
Garden Fundraiser – Opens on May 5. Look for more information soon!
