New! News from our Parent Crew!:

THANK YOU PARENT CREW!

The Renaissance Staff and Parent Crew Board want to share their gratitude for the outpouring of support this year.  If you haven't started tracking your 40 hours yet, (or 60 for families with multiple students at REMS), please log in to Track-It Forward today!

If you're still looking for ways to get involved, especially for families who work during the school day, please reach out to the Renaissance Auction committee who need anything from sponsorships to phone calls & emails made, and more! This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, without which we cannot sustain the levels of support around our building and continue to supplement voyage costs!

There are also lots of little ways to support REMS that are deeply appreciated, with Staff Appreciation, Car Line support, and planning Student Showcase celebrations. (See a list of many opportunities here.)

Again, we deeply appreciate your commitment to volunteering at least 40 hours as a REMS family. Without you, we can't make the magic happen!

REMS Auction Fundraiser Returns April 23rd! 

Auction Update: Got Space? 

The Auction committee is looking for families who would be able to donate a week or weekend in their vacation or rental property as an auction item! Contact Erin & Colleen at RenaissanceElementaryAuction@gmail.com.

The Auction team needs your help! Love being creative or crafty? How about being organized & checking off a to-do list? We're looking for 3-4 volunteers to help with Crew Art and Procurement ASAP! Contact the Auction Committee leads, Erin & Colleen at RenaissanceElementaryAuction@gmail.com to learn more!

This time of the year brings a wealth of possibilities, new relationships to forge and opportunities to engage in Expeditionary adventures together.   Enclosed are a few norms to ground us in our work for the year:    -  Communication is a healthy two way street.   We appreciate your willingness to follow  the  C hannels of  C ommunication  first before escalating matters beyond our school.  Please reach out to your teacher first and then follow the channels for better results.  -  L et’s create a mutual agreement for respecting ‘family time’ outside of the school day.
