Congratulations to the Ray-Pec Volunteer of the Year, LeeAnne Thompson! The award was announced during a reception on April 23.
Affectionately known as “the uniform mom,” LeeAnne has taken on the daunting task of uniforms for the marching band, and handled the task to perfection! She ensures that all band members (approx. 120) are fitted with their uniform, dressed properly and oftentimes staying later than the band directors to get everything done. She helped move props during practices and performances, handled uniform malfunctions with ease, wiped away countless tears, and most importantly - knew every child in the band. She knew their name, their instrument, their grade in school, and took time to listen to them and make each of them feel important. This is LeeAnne’s final year with the marching band, and she will be missed next year!
Finalists for Volunteer of the Year were honored at a reception last night. They are pictured with PTA Council President Jodi Price.

Patty Phillips, Deanna Olson, and Janet Jones took the oath of office on Monday night during a brief reorganization meeting of the Ray-Pec School Board. School Board Secretary Pam Steele administered the oath of office.
Phillips will serve a two-year term. Olson and Jones will serve three-year terms.
Under provisions of Missouri Statute Section 115.124, there was no election for school board directors because the number of candidates who filed was the same as the number of positions to be filled.
The Board re-elected Ruth Johnson to serve as Board President, and re-elected Deanna Olson to serve as Vice President. The Board approved Steele to continue as Board Secretary, and Chief Financial Officer Tiffany Banks to continue as Board Treasurer. The Board also approved Carol Barnes to serve as the delegate to the Missouri School Boards Association Assembly. Paul Coffman was selected to serve as the alternate delegate to the MSBA Assembly.
New School Board Member Janet Jones is pictured with her husband, Donavan Jones, and son Brantley, a second grader at Bridle Ridge Elementary.
