A Rainbow of Friends Christian School
Happy New Year! The staff and I are well-rested after the long Christmas Break and ready to continue to educate our students! The next five months will be very enriching for your child as the teachers continue to lay the foundation for academic learning. This is the time we will begin to see much growth in the children. It is so amazing and fun to watch their positive growth and development.
All of our afternoon Reading Academies resume on January 6/7 and the new morning, MWF Reading Academy (8:00 – 8:30 am) begins January 12. There are still a few slots available for this program and we invite you to try it out in the month of January for only $60 (regularly $90). Please contact me if you are interested in this incredible program that teaches children how to actually read!
I am also starting a new reading tutoring program for students K-2 nd
grade for students who do not attend this school. It will be offered T/TH from 4:00 – 4:45 pm starting January 13. The cost is $80/month with 45 minutes of instruction time each day. Whether your child is behind or ahead, we can really bring him/her to the next level! Tell as many families that you know!
Moms in Prayer has been awesome! As many of you know, we are in the process of growing our school to meet the needs of our families and we need as much prayer as we can get! We will start back January 21 at 8:40 am. Please join us!
Our next parent meeting will be Thursday and Friday, January 15/16
at 8:45 am. We will be discussing family day, field trips, Teachers’ Appreciation Breakfast, parent conferences, Valentine parties and information about our Registration Night. We will also begin to plan the Spring Program and Graduation. Please plan to attend. It will be a very informative meeting.
For Family Day, we are going ice skating at Sertich Ice Center on January 17 th
from 11:30 am -1:00 pm. The cost is $6.00 per person and includes skates. It is located at 1705 East Pikes Peak Avenue, COS.
My husband and I are offering a two day parenting class seminar this month. It is titled, “The Blended Family,” by Dr. Leman. Class will be Friday, January 23 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm and Saturday, January 24 from 8:00 – 2:00. I will provide a continental breakfast and lunch. Cost is $12/person or $20/couple for the training materials. We will also provide free childcare for this seminar.
Teacher Appreciation Breakfast – January 29/30, 8:30 – 9:30 am. We will need parents to bring breakfast dishes, sign up to watch students during large group, serve the teachers breakfast, and let them know how much you appreciate them!
We will be closed on Mon. January 19 th,
in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Many of you have helped this school with our goal of raising money to help offset the cost of a larger and more interactive playground – and I cannot thank you enough. Our next fundraising activity is a great one. Your student will create finger art that you can order on different mediums. This will be done in class Jan 20-23 (volunteers needed) and then you can order your child’s masterpiece within a few weeks. The final products are so adorable and make great Mother’s/Father’s Day and Grandparents’ Day presents. Thank you for all of your support!
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed new year! ~ Renee Green, 719-243-2043
This month our students will be learning about Jesus and what His birth and life meant to the Wise Men, King Herod, John the Baptist, and Nicodemus.

MAKE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEBSITE and “Like” US ON FACEBOOK SO YOU ARE WELL INFORMED WHAT IS GOING ON AT OUR SCHOOL.
- We had to make necessary changes to our school calendar and it will be sent home as soon as it is finalized.
- If District 3 or 8 is on a 2 hour delay, we will be delayed 2 hours as well. It might not be worth the drive for one hour of school, but if your child is in afternoon reading, they can have one hour of schooling and their regular reading class. If either district is closed, we will be closed as well. We will also announce delays/closures on Facebook and by mass text (if you have opted-in the program).
- Label all outer garments with your child’s name. This includes coats, hats, and gloves.
- There is still some confusion about our tuition due dates. The invoices that go out on the tenth of each month are not due until the 20 th
of that month. For example, the invoices that go out on January 10, are due January 20 th
for February’s tuition. If you have any questions or have not been receiving invoices, please email Silver Buonocore @ arof.manager@gmail.com. Always check your SPAM folder first!
- If you have moved, changed your phone number or email, please let us know at the front desk so we can update your paper work. It is very important that we have your current information on file. Tax information will be emailed to you later this month.
