One year ago, we opened the doors to our on-site food pantry at Renaissance Academy, and what a year it has been. ♥️
Because of the incredible partnership and support of Foodlink, our families have had greater access to fresh, nutritious food right here at school.
When we remove barriers, students thrive. Here’s to one year of nourishment, dignity, and community, and many more to come. 🥫✨

We are so excited to share that next Thursday is the first game in RA history for our basketball team! This is such a special moment for our students and our school community.
Our first game is Thursday, February 19th at 8:00pm on Court 2 at HoopsStrength (1225 Jefferson Road). We also have two games on Saturday, February 21st at 5:00pm and 7:10pm, both on Court 2 at HoopsStrength.
If you’re available, we would love to have staff come out and cheer the team on. It would mean so much to our players to see familiar faces in the crowd.
We’re incredibly proud of how hard these students have been working to prepare for this season. Wish us luck as we tip off our very first games!

At Renaissance Academy, language is not a barrier, it’s a strength. 🌍💬
Our ELL program is powered by two incredible teachers who work closely with our multilingual learners every day, helping them build confidence, strengthen academic skills, and fully engage in classroom learning.
But the support doesn’t stop there. Our Family Services Department partners closely with families by coordinating translators and facilitating meetings with staff to ensure every parent feels informed, heard, and connected.
Because when families and schools communicate clearly, students succeed! 💖
