 Hello Rainbow Creek Families!

With only two weeks until the break, we are doing a lot of reflecting on the fabulous work our students and staff are engaged in. Our Grade 6 students have been working hard on their Telus Spark Prototype Project and delighted the rest of the school community with an opportunity to see the projects in action. This work demonstrates how hands-on learning meets innovation.

Our students have displayed creativity and critical thinking skills through designing, testing, and refining their own prototypes. The enthusiasm and ingenuity displayed by our students highlight the power of experiential learning in preparing them for the future.

Stay tuned for more on this project and a huge thank you to Ms. Dhadda, Ms. Schirr, and Ms. Muir. 

Outdoor Gear - Please label your child's winter gear, especially boots, mittens, and jackets. There are many of the same styles that are easily mixed up at recess and the end of the day.

So far, we’ve raised over $400 dollars for this great cause; thank you!  Student Council is spreading warmth and kindness this winter season! Rainbow Creek Elementary, East Lake School, and Langdon School are teaming up for a friendly food bank drive from December 9th to 13th, called the East Side Food Drive.

During the week, students are invited to bring in non-perishable food items to support our local food banks and help make a difference in our community. Food donations will be accepted during the school’s winter concert evening! Which school will collect the most and show the true spirit of giving?
