Missouri Rainbow Girls

“Faith, Hope and Charity”

The past few months for Missouri Rainbow have been slow ones but we never fail to stick together to celebrate the holidays! This year we opted to cancel our in-person Christmas party and decided to have it over Zoom instead. Even though we would have loved to see each other in person, we decided for the safety of our girls and advisors that online was the best and safest option.

The Zoom Christmas party went great I had planned so many fun activities for our girls as well as got prizes for the winners. We played games such as Kahoot Trivia, where the girls got to answer trivia about Christmas movies, music, and fun facts. If was a pretty close competition but in the end, we only had 3 winners and the winners even got a $30 gift card to Walmart.

We also had a scavenger hunt from home, I gave them a list of items to find around their house and the winners got ornaments that go along with my theme. After the scavenger hunt, we played a game of dance tag, it gave the girls and adults a chance to vibe with some great Christmas music as well as getting to see all their sisters doing some crazy moves. However, my favorite part of the Christmas party was craft time where we colored in snowmen and even got to make snowflakes. My snowflake did not turn out great, but some girls had great snowflakes to show off. At the end we wrote letters to those in need, the girls had an option of who they wanted to write to, but I wanted a time where the girls could send some kindness to those who needed it, whether it was a nursing home, hospital, or even someone in their house, I really like the opportunity the girls had to spread some cheer during this crazy year. As the unpredictable year of 2020 draws to a close, I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for your support of Rainbow and the girls. I know we have all had our ups and downs with this year, but your kindness and love shown to Rainbow has not gone unnoticed. Thank you again, I cannot wait to see you all once again!
