RE ART SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL...........RE Fourth and fifth-grade students could sign up to participate in a 6-week after-school art club called Art School After School. In this particular lesson, participants painted a still life of flowers. Students learned and applied various painting techniques including underpainting, blending, tints, and shades. This club has allowed these students to discover new materials and techniques through small group instruction they don't otherwise use in class and has been an incredibly fun and enlightening opportunity for everyone.
RE Families, here is an update of events for the next couple of weeks. Don't forget to mark these events on your calendars:
OCT 9 thru 27 is our Tigeropoly
OCT 18 is our RE Culver's Teacher Night [share with your family and friends!]

The SMFD fire marshal visited all elementary school second graders to discuss fire safety as part of fire prevention week. [Don’t forget to visit Johnny’s Tavern Raymore October 1st-16th so your elementary school-aged child can fill out a home safety plan and win a gift card!]
Additionally, 1st-grade students at Raymore Elementary heard all about what it is like to be a Police Officer and School Resource Officer from our SRO, Officer Stephanie Hornbeck.
Both visitors were part of the Community Helpers research project.

"First day of school... checked off of the list!" RE had an amazing start to the school year. A big thank you goes to the staff, parents, and students who made it a success. Let's make day two even better!
What a fun day to celebrate our RE incoming kindergarteners during our preview day. Class of 2036! #raypec #dreammaker
We welcomed many new and returning students at our Meet the Teacher night last night and now we are excited to welcome our new kindergartners this morning at our Kindergarten Preview event !
Just a few construction updates to start the morning. The PAC walls continue to go up and the Raymore Elementary School playground is nearing completion! 👷
We kicked off the 2023-24 school year with a bang this morning! 💥 All Ray-Pec staff filled the high school gym for convocation and to celebrate the beginning of another wonderful school year.
"This morning, our celebration is all about the dreams of our students. Students are coming to us wanting to have a successful and meaningful life. That’s our mission. And that’s their dream. It is our job to make that dream possible. All of us, and I mean anyone in this room employed or in an elected leadership role of the Ray-Pec School District, has the duty to deliver on or support the mission of our school district. Everyone. Our theme for this year is that we are all 'Dreammakers.'"
At the end of the ceremony Superintendent, Dr. Mike Slagle, asked all staff who were committed to being "Dreammakers" for students to stand. What a scene. 🖤💛
