Voices from the Past

What could be more inspiring as we make the passage into a new year, than the words from students we have touched?

The cairn was left by a former student - so perfect at so many levels -  a heap of stones piled up as a memorial and a landmark. Reveals so much of how the experience here at Renaissance shaped the young man who left it.

The visitor post - an unsolicited testimony of appreciation and gratitude for how her life has been enriched by her time at Renaissance.

Our students take the experiences, shaped over years, and are letting us know we do deliver on our mission. 

Nothing like a celebration to start our year off together.

...and the journey begins

Can I just say....Nooooo!

Welcome Melissa!
Melissa will be with us all year,
as she interns under Allison's guidance.

Welcome Sandy!
Sandy is our new Health Assistant,
and how wonderful to have Kristin
back while she trains Sandy.
(Kind of hope Sandy is a slow learner! Awfully nice to have them both!)

New procedures for our 'Cafe' up and running!

Welcome Morgan - Hanni's student teacher :)

Debriefing time outdoors.

Second day of school and Diana is training her volunteers!

I wasn't able to capture everyone in a photo this week - but I will!
