On Friday, March 27th, Brianna Benes competed at Unified State Speech in Kearney, NE. Brianna proudly represented Raymond Central as our first-ever unified speech participant—and she did an amazing job! She delivered an uplifting speech all about elevators. Raymond Central is incredibly proud of Brianna for her hard work, courage, and representation of our school. Great job, Brianna!

Best wishes to everyone for an outstanding performance! This marks our first year participating at this upper division. May you demonstrate Mustang strength!

Here is an opportunity for parents shared with us through Saunders County Health.

Congratulations to the 2026 Candidates for Prom King and Queen! Crowning will take place at the Cornhusker Hotel this Saturday around 10pm.

With the big kids being out of the building and the kitchen being closed, Preschool enjoyed our kind of fun. We enjoyed a picnic style lunch! And Daniel Tiger engaged us with an awesome social emotional lesson about what to do if a friend doesn’t want to play. This is a hard concept because emotional reaction often over powers logical thought. We had a lot of great conversation about feelings and what to do if a friend doesn’t want to or can’t play right now. Just another example of This is Why We Preschool!

Post Prom Info Attached! Forms need to be turned in to the office by Wednesday 3/25!

Raymond Central celebrated World Down Syndrome Day on March 20th by “Rocking Our Socks”!

Students and staff also had the opportunity to sign a pledge to spread the word about inclusion, and ‘Choose to Include’ bracelets were handed out to help spread awareness.

Congratulations to the following students for participating in the Nebraska Wesleyan JH Honor Band this past Saturday! Students rehearsed all day before performing in a wonderful concert that night. Awesome job and way to represent RC! Kate F - alto saxophone Sade G - trombone Thomas S - tenor saxophone Dawson W - tenor saxophone Sarah F - clarinet
