Last week, first graders celebrated the 120th day and their achievement of counting to 120. Activities include creating counting charts, sorting snacks, collecting items, and working on projects that revolve around the number 120. It’s a fun way for students to showcase their counting skills and engage in hands-on learning!

Ray-Pec plans to have in-person school tomorrow.
We don’t usually send a message when schools are going to be OPEN, but after last week, it seems like a good idea! If there is a change to our plans for tomorrow, we will communicate by 5:30 a.m.
Please remember to use caution while driving, especially in the southern parts of the district; be patient about possible bus delays, and make sure that students dress warmly. Monday morning temperatures are predicted to be cold!
