The next Renaissance fundraiser is April 3 at the St. Louis Bread Company located in Wildwood from 4 to 8 p.m.
Students should take the fundraiser flyer to the restaurant, which can be found at this link. The flyer can also be found at the Welcome Center and will be passed out at lunch on the day of the fundraiser.
Twenty percent of the proceeds will go to Renaissance for purchases on all food and beverage items.
“This fundraiser will provide more funds for Renaissance to continue to recognize the outstanding achievements of our students and staff,” Renaissance sponsor Matt Landwehr said.
Landwehr also said the business sponsors have been a big help to the Renaissance program and they wanted to be able to give back to the community.
“As a favorite of many students, staff and parents, we all agreed a fundraising night at St. Louis Bread Co. would be a hit and a win-win for everyone,” Landwehr added.
