Renaissance Adventure Day Update! Dear Parents, The Parent Crew Foundation is excited to share that the 3rd annual Renaissance Adventure Day (RAD) will take place on Friday, October 8th.  Renaissance Adventure Day is a day to challenge our students in the spirit of our school’s core values, to come together as a community in service of others, and to raise funds.   This year, all students will participate in four different stations that celebrate the many things we value at Renaissance and receive a voyage approved RAD shirt.  Three of the stations will be outdoor challenges, and the fourth will be a station focused on service.  For the service component of our day, students will participate in assembling “Kits for Kids” - creating necessity duffle bags for children who experience foster care.  Please read more about Kits for Kids,  here .   Funds raised will support Renaissance equipment purchases for both the Outdoor Learning Environment (OLE), and for in-school Adventure Programming
