ach year on April 3rd, National Find A Rainbow
Day challenges us to look to the sky and find a
colorful rainbow. But you don't have to look for
rainbows only on one day. Look for them all month
long!
Rainbows make people happy! There are people that
see rainbows as art in the sky. Others see a rainbow
as a sign of hope.
Help your friends and neighbors find
rainbows by making and displaying one!
If the weather doesn't cooperate and no
rainbows appear in the sky, you can still
bring joy and hope to your neighborhood
by displaying a homemade rainbow in a
window where others can see it!
You can make your own rainbow with items found
around your house. This is good for the environment
because you are re-using materials. Re-using paper
helps to save trees!
Drake is from San Leandro, California.
He made a rainbow out of an old calendar
by reusing it. He said he felt awesome that
he was using old paper because he was
saving trees. He learned in Ms. Dodd's
class at Roosevelt Elementary School that
trees give us food and air.
He is not only showing Mother Earth he
cares, he is also showing his community
he cares.
His cousin in Hawaii, Xinmei, said she
can feel his rainbow from California.
"After a passing storm, rainbows are a
reminder that bright days lie ahead.
Seeing a rainbow is my reminder to enjoy
the passing days. Creating this rainbow
out scrap felt from one of my many craft
boxes and hanging it in my window for all
my neighbors to see, was the reminder I
needed that we shouldn't stop working
towards our vision for a brighter future."
