Seniors at Ray-Pec Academy in Jennifer Ramirez' class have been exploring the food service industry. They have been focused on learning what it takes to be an entrepreneur, branding a business, and building empathy for local business owners and their experiences. Students have been able to work with a local client, touring their facility, helping brand their food truck, collecting customer data, and helping create a menu based on customer requests and cost analysis. They have also been learning about the Portrait of a Ray-Pec Graduate, striving to be strong communicators, collaborators, and critical thinkers. Students were able to earn an Industry Recognized Credential while working on their project as well. The group took a trip to the Cass County Health Department in Harrisonville, took their exams, and 100% of them earned their permits. Real World Learning opportunities like these are one of many ways that Ray-Pec strives to be a School District of Choice and help students find gainful employment opportunities during high school and beyond. Students pictured include: JoVaan Arthur, Libby Atkinson, Elijah Boyd, Mekhi Boyd, Dominick Brenson, Mason Cooper, Reagan DeDonder, Alyvia Dwerlkotte, Karessa Lemen, Davion McKenzie, Isabella Mendenhall, Natalie Murray, Trinity Plumb, Camille Prickett, Mazie Shideler, Alex Suarez, and Janaya Turneur.
