Hello Rainbow Creek Families!
What an incredible week at Rainbow Creek. Our intramurals ended this week with a final game of students’ vs teachers. The teachers were the victors, but it was a close game with a final score of 16-15. Our students and spectators displayed excellent sportsmanship during the game.
Indigenous author, Henri Giroux joined us in the Learning Commons and read her book, “Sharing the Land We call Home”, where students learned about Treaty 7 and Land Acknowledgements. Henri Giroux presented each class with a signed copy of her book and included a nice personal message for each group.
A heartfelt thank you to the Friends of RCE for paying for Quest Theatre for all students to engage in their creative and performance-based programs this week. The Quest staff was so impressed with how our students represented themselves and Rainbow Creek. They had this to say: “Your students were so kind, creative, and bold with their offerings and the teachers and staff at the school were incredible. We felt very welcome and supported.” Way to go, RCE!
Next week we celebrate our Grade 6 students transitioning to Middle school. We look forward to reflecting and sharing our memories at the farewell assembly and picnic.
