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.”
UNIVEST BANK & TRUST CO.
would like to congratulate The
Grannie Project - the winner of
the third annual Caring for Community Giveaway, a
contest that awards $5,000 to a local, nonprofit
organization. This year, more than 150 groups were
nominated for the prize. From more than 14,225 votes
submitted over the course of the contest, The Grannie
Project received the most on its behalf. The Grannie
Project is a small, independent no-kill animal rescue
operating out of Southeastern, PA dedicated to rescuing
and advocating for senior pets.
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. Cram, Ed.D., president of the Middle States
Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary
Schools. “School leaders, teachers and parents are to be
commended for working together to establish goals focused on
providing high quality education for all students.”

Member Spotlight
One of the great beauties of Yoga Therapy is that it
takes the stress reducing benefits of a yoga class to
another level. Yoga Therapy aims to put the person
in touch with their own abilities through awareness
and learning of empowering personalized practices
that facilitate the body and mind to work for you, not
against you. www.luzshantiyogatherapy.com
In January the ladies of the PV Chamber got together for
our first PV Women in Networking event of 2015! This
unique networking mixer presented tools to Empower
Women, Reduce Stress, Build Relationships, Improve
Emotional Health and indulge in some much deserved
pampering!
Luz Shanti showed the group some stress relieving yoga
poses that can be done almost anywhere! Our gracious
hosts at Lily Laser and Beauty provided wonderful hand
massages and tasty treats! The Comprehensive Foot &
Ankle Center of Collegeville filled the ladies goodie bags
with great items to use at home.
In the end everyone
NETWORKED, EMPOWERED and INDULGED!
