How’s it Going?

Can you believe we’re already peeking into 2025? Time flies when you’re having fun! A massive thank you to all the families who have rolled up their sleeves, donated goodies, and cheered us on since this school year kicked off!

We’ve had a blast these past two months since our last scoop! Fright Night was a spooktacular hit! Over 130 kiddos joined the monster mash, bringing their A-game with creative costumes and high-octane energy. DJ Papi turned the place into a dance party, shaking the walls until it was time to flip the lights back on. We raked in more than $2,700 from ticket sales and donations! And let’s give a colossal shoutout to Jasmine Hodari and Carlin Miller for their decorating wizardry! 🎉👻

What’s Next?

Our Thanksgiving drive, in partnership with Ms. Jordan (6th grade), provided meals and a weekend’s worth of food for families during the holiday. Thanks for your generosity in supporting Toni’s Kitchen and stocking our pantry!

We’re still on the hunt for donations for our Toy Drive! If you can, please drop off all those shiny, unwrapped gifts at the front office by Friday, December 20th. Let’s spread some holiday cheer! 🎁✨

Spirit Wear is absolutely rockin’ the sales! We’ve got a fabulous lineup of goodies in all sizes ready for your personal touch. Just hop onto our website, and you can order with a few clicks and pay online like a pro!

Budget Update

We would like to draw your attention to our current financial status as of this year to date. It is important for us to review our updated budget. Additionally, we need to explore creative strategies to generate funds that can alleviate our expense burden.

Holiday Strategies for Your Family

We apologize for canceling our December meeting. However, please find the attached slide designed to assist you and your family in navigating the holiday season.

November 2024 Announcement from Renaissance’s PTA

Happy Thanksgiving from the Renaissance PTA

Happy November 2024, Renaissance Families!

November brings about a time for us to give thanks to our community, friends, and family. As a community, we ask you to help provide Thanksgiving meals for needy families.  Working through Ms. Fosella and Ms. Francisco, we have determined the number of families that need our help,

Please take a few moments to read through the attached donation letter and sign up to help our community enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with ample food for their families.  Your donation, whether big or small, goes a long way to helping others.

We are also excited to launch an easy way to help with your Thanksgiving plans!  How does no baking sound?  Awesome, right?  Well, we are bringing you a pie sale!  We have partnered with Treelicious Orchards to provide their delicious, homemade pies that can easily be disguised as your own!  For each pie sold, the PTA will receive a share that will be allocated amongst the three grades for end-of-year activities.  Please take a look at our order form attached. Download and fill in your pie order, and send it back to ptapres@renassaincepta.org. All orders are due by November 19th.  Pick up on Tuesday, November 26th, by 3:30 p.m.

Your support of the PTA allows us to support every student and staff member throughout the year, which is our ultimate goal!

Have a Happy & Healthy Thanksgiving Holiday!
