NEW! Welcome to our Parent Crew:

Meet the Parent Crew Volunteer Coordinator, Kendra Arkfeld!



Kendra has a kindergartener in Ms. Bethany's Crew and a preschooler joining REMS  next year. She grew up in Highlands Ranch and has been in Castle Rock for about 4 1/2 years. For her 'day job' Kendra works in IT, and her husband works in construction. They're both super excited to have their kiddos at Renaissance and jump in to help our community! 

NEW! Staff Crew Spotlight:

Meet the Renaissance 4th & 5th Grade Crews, including our newest member, Ms. Sami, who is teaching 4th grade.


"I was so excited about the outdoor education side of REMS. Growing up camping, fishing, and being outside, I thought REMS would be a perfect fit for me... I've always been excited to try new things, so I thought the school would be a perfect fit and a great learning opportunity to better my experience and change the lives of my students."

Don't forget to check out the rest of the 4th and 5th grade team, too!

A note from 4th grade:

We are collecting bread bags to bring up to Keystone Science School (KSS ) on our winter voyage. We will be happy to have bags for our crews and to deliver KSS extra bags so they can use them with other schools.  Plus, it prevents the soft plastic from going directly into the trash and gives it another use-yeah sustainability! We have collection bags outside the 4th-grade classrooms and in the cafeteria.
