Outside the Box – Christy Johnson
The News Channel 7 crew was at the school very early (4:30 AM) on Monday, April 15 to interview students and teachers. The school focused not only on accelerated academics, language immersion and creativity but also on its unique PE/Art/CS program. The students did a wonderful job of representing their school and showing the television audience some of what they do as part of the Renascence School International program. Students wore their sports attire and performed the following:
Vocal – Amelia Talkington, Keyboard – Vicky Wu: Edelweiss from “The Sound of Music”
Tae Kwon Do – Huck Lee, Marisa Stahl
Gymnastics – Lily Cobb, Nate Cobb
Ballet – Margot Provencher
Sailing – Katherine Kozan, Oliver Provencher
Reading poems in Mandarin – Lily Cobb
Reading passage in Mandarin – Katherine Kozan
All students greeted the television audience in Spanish and Mandarin. This was a live interview with Paris Janis of the News Channel 7 Today Show.
