TRUE NORTH REGION
Canada
Welcome to the True North Renaissance region! I am so glad you are here! My name is Melissa Wright and I have been in education for over 20 years. I started Renaissance at my school in my first year of teaching and honestly cannot imagine teaching without it.
Being involved in our regions provides educators the opportunity to connect with like minded individuals and get some amazing ideas and insights to help improve school culture and climate. There are many ways to be involved – join our region facebook page, attend virtual events in our region and ones put on by the Jostens Renaissance team (like Happy R), or attend a regional event in person. These are all amazing opportunities to learn more about Jostens Renaissance, the resources they provide and to gain new ideas/get started at your school!
We are a geographically large and proud region! Canadian educators, students and our schools have so much to offer. We are very creative and resourceful!
If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to reach out to me at anytime! Looking forward to meeting and working with you all!

She brought Renaissance to her school in her second year of teaching and has been running with it ever since.

As well, seeing students and Staffulty receive recognition that may have been unexpected brings her so much joy.
