Weekly Letter

April 23, 2010

Hello everyone,

By now I am sure you have heard our NEW WEBSITE is up and running! We are very proud of the site and everyone who helped make it happen. The new website boasts lots of great photographs of our students taken by students. Also, you can see this year’s impressive college acceptance list on the “Class of 2010″ page. Please forward this link to all of your family and friends: www.renaissanceschool.org.

This week the Dr. Wilbur’s Biology class took a field trip to UVa and visited the Biology and Psychology departments. We also continued with Senior Thesis presentations during our Assemblies this week. On Wednesday and Thursday students spent some time filling out class evaluations. This is a first for Renaissance School and we are looking forward to hearing what our students have to say. The evaluations will remain anonymous (they will be typed) and given to teachers after the fourth quarter ends.

Congratulations to Henry Thompson for placing 9th in the state on the National French Exam in the French I category!
Also, Congratulations to Hannah von Hemert on placing 10th in the state in the French III category!
Marina Stevenson placed 5th in the state in the French IV category! Congratulations!

In this week’s Hook weekly paper Ross Bollinger, a Renaissance School graduate, was featured for his first place win in the 31st College Television Awards. Ross will be graduating from the School of Visual Art in Manhattan this year.
