(Strengthening Positivity and Reinforcing Kindness)
The Spark Club is part of The Happiness Project, founded in 2011 with a mission to help students grow as leaders while making their world a kinder place. Through meaningful acts of service and daily kindness, students learn how small actions can make a big impact.
At Rainbow Elementary, our Spark Club members will spread positivity throughout the school and the community. Their goal is to build stronger connections, support those around them, and develop the leadership skills that help them become caring, engaged community members.
Together, we can brighten our school, lift others up, and spark kindness everywhere!



The Safeties delivered donations of food and supplies and were thanked with lots of puppy cuddles! Thank you, LaMancha Animal Rescue, for having them!
Mr. K showed up in spooktacular style, our gym teachers laced up as a perfect pair of sneakers, and our students and staff brought all the creativity and fun with their amazing costumes!
From giggles in the hallways to festive fun all around, it was a frightfully good time at Rainbow!
We hope all of our Wildcats had a safe and happy Halloween!
