Jennifer: I would like to thank Renton Prep for allowing me to experience my learning, its one thing to read something off the textbook and do an essay on it. At Renton Prep we get to make projects about and we get to show our learning in ways that we can control and persoanlize our learning. I’m very thankful I get to go to Renton Prep because of it.
