Staff Spotlights

One of our many strengths here at Renaissance is our amazing team of EAs!  This week we’d love to highlight and spend some time getting to know Ms. Beth Sanders, our 2nd grade EA IV in Ms. Julie’s crew. Beth was drawn into Renaissance by our philosophy and curriculum.  “It is like nowhere else I’ve experienced.  I believe in kids being taught, but I am also a strong believer that teaching through experience works!” 
Learn more about Ms. Beth here:

Another one of our fantastic EAs is Ms. Stacy Wagner, who was also a REMS Parent! Ms. Stacy deeply values the mission and vision statements expressed by REMS, the way the school attempts to educate the whole child, and the opportunities for growth afforded to kids through the Outdoor Adventure Education program. One of her favorite quotes is the well-known passage from Kurt Hahn: “There is more in us than we know. If we could be made to see it; perhaps, for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less.”
