8th Grade Passage Portfolio
All 8th grade students at Renaissance are required to complete a year-long intensive project in order to demonstrate their readiness for high school. They complete multiple academic reflections, write a letter to a high school teaching explaining their high school readiness, compile the reflections and work into a portfolio, and present to an audience.
Passage Portfolio Ceremony Remarks
From Mr. Galanis, 8th Grade Crew Teacher:
This is my second round of crew here at Renaissance, so I've been here before. There's something special about being a middle school crew teacher. It takes a certain something to make it through unscathed. My current crew includes dancers, archers, hunters, basketball players, scholars, swimmers, tennis players, actors, performers, a hockey player, friends, enemies, and friends again. We have gamers and gossipers, quiet people and loud people. We have struggled and grown together. We've laughed and cried. We've been angry with each other, and resolved things and relaxed with each other. Crew is one of my favorite parts of working here. Thanks to you, my crew. One of my other favorite things is that next year, and for the few years that follow, I will be able to stay in touch with my crew as they experience high school and progress forward toward their college goals. Thank you for being my little school family for the last three years. I will miss you.
