It's time for our April Greathouse Rainbow Club. This monthly club offers families a chance to come together, connect, and grow. This club is open to all students and their parents/guardians and focuses on kindness, empathy, and caring for one another. Each month, families are invited to join us for a fun, hands-on activity designed to foster friendships and strengthen our school community. Parents must attend with their child as we work side by side to celebrate differences, practice being good humans, and make our world a little brighter, one meeting at a time!

Our April Meeting will have refreshments, and we will do an activity to celebrate Earth Day. Students will build and paint bird houses
