Arretta Renwanz
Mrs. Renwanz has been at VCS since 1977 when her oldest daughter entered kindergarten. She began volunteering in the second grade class, where she stayed for five years. During that time she began to substitute on both the elementary and high school level. In 1983, VCS hired its first paid aide. Mrs. Renwanz filled that position helping in first grade reading. She continued to volunteer and to substitute. In 1989, she co-taught first grade. Then in 1990 she began teaching first grade full time. Born and raised in Sacramento, Mrs. Renwanz received her BA and her teaching credential from Chico State College. She met her husband while there. Their three children are all graduates of VCS. Mrs. Renwanz enjoys each new class of first graders. She loves to see them grow from tentative beginning readers to excited experienced readers. She is very soft hearted and loves to make first grade special for her students.
