LIFE IS ART: Have you gotten your tickets for March 14th? 

Here is a personal plug. :) Renaissance has done lots of fundraisers in the past, but we have narrowed it down to two big ones: Bootcamp and Life is Art. The parent committee who runs LIA has done such a fabulous job with making this a FUN event that really makes a difference in our classrooms. For example, this is the FIRST year I have had my own computer cart (with brand new Chrome Books!!!). Last year, 3rd grade had to share one cart, and before that, we had to share carts with multiple grades. This has been AMAZING! It gives us SO much more access to technology and teaching 21st century skills. I can't say enough how much I enjoy this event, and I hope to see all of you there. Life is Art tickets are on SALE now! Tickets can be purchased here. 

Spring Climbing: Our crew will be climbing the week of March 16th. The more belayers we have, the more climbing students get to do! Hope to see you there!

Life is Art: Artist's Edition I love seeing our community come together to celebrate creativity, self expression, and art.   Here is some more information about the Op Art that our 3rd graders created.  There were a lot of proud smiles! It was fun to see students celebrating with their family!  Here is some work from the other grades.  We are so lucky to have Ms. Pam! This is a testament to her passion and amazing work! Here is a sampling of some of the fabulous silent auction items. Teacher time is always a highlight. I am offering a Chic-Fil-A lunch date. :)  Here is our crew's "Starry Night of Castle Rock" available for auction.  How pretty!!! Have you gotten your tickets for Saturday night? I hope to see you there!
