Rains ISD

Rains Elementary 2nd graders wrapped up their unit on Fairy Tales and Tall Tales with a fun celebration! Students enjoyed flapjacks, wore their flannels like Paul Bunyan, and practiced their lasso skills just like Pecos Bill! 🤠🐴

We especially love seeing the collaboration between Rains Elementary and our Rains High School FFA to make learning fun and memorable for our students! 🤩

What a fun way to bring these tall tales to life!

It’s a great day to be a Wildcat! 💙🐾

Rains Cross Country teams showed up, worked hard, and represented the Wildcats well!
Congratulations to all our athletes! 💙🐾
