THE RENAISSANCE ACADEMY Charter School is proud to announce that it has earned accreditation by the Middle States
Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools, a worldwide leader in accreditation and continuous school improvement. “We are pleased to have earned accreditation by the Middle States Association (MSA) and to share our success with the greater school community, especially the teachers, parents and
students who worked so hard to make this possible,” said Renaissance Academy CEO, Gina Guarino Buli. “Accreditation confirms and validates the work we do each and every day to ensure a high quality education for our students.” Accreditation is a process which schools voluntarily undergo to
demonstrate they are meeting a defined set of performance standards. “The accreditation process is an effective and efficient approach to helping schools plan for the future, promote staff development and advance student achievement,” said Henry G.

commended for working together to establish goals focused on providing high quality education for all students.”

and learning of empowering personalized practices that facilitate the body and mind to work for you, not against you. www.luzshantiyogatherapy.com
At Lily Laser & Beauty, you are the center of attention. Using the latest styles, trends, and techniques for your Hair, Body,
and Skin, you will leave looking and feeling your very best, while still being comfortable.
