Ready Set Learn at Renfrew
Over the past month Renfrew Elementary has been awash in new faces as 15-25 new potential students participated in the school’s Ready Set Learn program aimed at giving them and their parents an intro to elementary school. Ready Set Learn is a yearly process where 3-4 year olds are invited to district schools and given a fun crash course of all that their school has to offer. At Renfrew the program goes for 5-6 sessions. It includes circle time, book sharing as well as science, art and dinosaur digging stations. The program also provides information for parents about programs and other community resources
“This program was an awesome success,” says Hugh Blackman, Principal at Renfrew. “It is also a nice way for our Kindergarten teachers to come in and meet and greet the new families who are going to be joining our school family soon!”
