NEW!  A Note from Ms. Trena:

Dear REMS Parents, 

It was a privilege to celebrate our Visual Arts students this week at Renaissance. We packed the house on Wednesday evening for our annual REMS Art Walk. I appreciated seeing so many families come out to celebrate our students and the many talents of Ms. Staci in fostering students' creative passions! 

I also hope that you all had the opportunity to go out and visit the Legacy Campus this week to see our student's artwork on display at the DCSD Art Show. Our students truly represented CREW in their reflective pieces of our core values! 

Will P. won Best in Show for Grades 4th-6th

Olivia S. received an Honorable Mention for Grades K-3rd
