Parent Crew Spotlight: Trang Nguyen

​Our volunteer spotlight shines on Trang Nguyen.  Trang and her family have been a part of the Renaissance community for 5 years now. You may have spotted Trang around the school taking photos at different events.  She began her love of photography back in 2004 when she had her son. Trang saw just how quickly children grow and change that she wanted to be able to capture the most mundane things that they do.  Most of the photos she takes are candid, especially of her kids.  Trang  loves nature photography.  While breathtaking sceneries are awesome, Trang likes taking pictures of ordinary subjects and giving them a different angle, such as the annoying weeds that invade our lawns, frost on our windows during our cold winter months or a songbird visiting our backyard in the Spring. Trang has seen how much her children have benefitted from Renaissance and she wanted to find a way to give back to the school by volunteering. Last year Trang was the school's yearbook photographer, and she enjoyed it so much that she has decided to co-chair the position again this year. Trang enjoys seeing the kids' faces light up when they flip through the pages and see themselves and their friends.  This year's yearbook is a little different, so she is excited for everyone to see it.  When Trang is not busy taking photos around the school, she is chaperoning voyages and helping set up students art for the Arts Festival. Trang and her family love the outdoors and being active so it was only natural for her to want to belay during climbing. Trang loves seeing students become more confident each year as they gain experience in climbing. Renaissance is so very happy to have Trang share her passion for photography and for volunteering with our school.  Big thanks to Trang and all of our school's volunteers for making Renaissance a wonderful place for our kids!
