BNL Renaissance

BNL Renaissance
Community, School, and Business working together to support excellence in education!

What is Renaissance?

 Renaissance is about creating a way to recognize and reward everyone in the building.
 It’s about celebrating academic achievement, good attendance, and good deeds.
 It’s about being proud of academic success.
 It’s about school spirit and showing enthusiasm toward the wonderful people in our school.
 It’s about getting everyone involved: students, faculty, staff and administration, parents, community and businesses.

BNL Renaissance is a teacher-student driven program with administrative support as well as solid community support. As a Renaissance school, we continue to believe that all students can achieve and that they often need a little bit of encouragement along the way to success. Renaissance can only succeed with the support and involvement of the teachers and staff at BNL. Funding for the many components of Renaissance comes from donations from area businesses, organizations, and individuals as well as from fundraisers such as Mr. BNL.
