Letter from Outgoing PCF President
Dear REMS Community,
As my term as PCF President comes to a close, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the incredible volunteers, families, and staff who made this past year a success. It has been an honor to serve such a passionate and dedicated community.
Together, we’ve achieved so much - from joyful events like Carnival and Movie on the Lawn, to our fundraising efforts during Renaissance Adventure Day, Spirit Nights, and our Auction at TopGolf. Your support brought these experiences to life and created lasting memories of CREW.
Thanks to your generosity and participation, we also made exciting enhancements to our campus, including new soccer goals and with a forthcoming additional shade structure. The Staff Grants Program and Red Envelope Giving Campaign allowed us to directly support our teachers and classrooms. And our Staff Appreciation Week reminded us all how much our educators are valued.
To our Crew Parents: Thank you for your time, support, and dedication to your classes this year. You were the communication coordinators, the party planners, and the basket curators, amongst many other things. We see all your efforts and we appreciate you.
To our event leads: You brought organization, energy, and heart to everything you did. Your leadership and dedication truly demonstrated CREW to our community. We're so grateful for all you've done.
To our community: Thank you for your support and spirit. Whether through your time, contributions, or encouragement, you've helped make this year meaningful and memorable for our students. We're so grateful to be part of such a connected group of families. We couldn't do it without you.
To our staff: Each of you played a vital role in shaping a positive, supportive environment for our students and families this year. Your commitment, hard work, and passion is noticed. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
I have appreciated the opportunity to lead this year. I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished together, and I look forward to seeing the continued growth and spirit of this incredible community.
With gratitude,
Leslie Bauer
PCF President
Renaissance Elementary Magnet School
UPDATE: Shade Structure
District Operations & Management has been onsite at REMS and they, along with Ms. Trena, have determined the best location for the structure. It will be a metal structure with no maintenance needed. Everything has been approved in the budget, so the next step will be installation, which is targeted for early Fall.
