Raymond Central Preschool Party happened today. They were having a blast.
Per Mrs. B: Our preschool classes were invited to the FCS room where a morning of cookie baking was waiting. The High school kids planned, prepped, and executed the entire event. The preschoolers had the BEST time measuring, counting, sneaking a chocolate chip or 2, connecting with the big kids, and creating something from start to the delicious finish.
I was SO impressed with the kind and intuitive way that many of the high schoolers engaged the preschoolers.
We have such cool things happening around these parts!

How do you culminate a unit on The Great Gatsby in style? If you are at Raymond Central, you do a Breakout Activity…that’s how! This defines problem solving, rigor, and collaboration! What a fun activity and man are these Mustangs competitive!
Last Board meeting: Thank you Brad Breitkreutz for your service to the Raymond Central School Board and our school. You have been a great leader and you will be missed.
Sometimes as a Principal you get a perk you didn’t see coming. Today I was one of the honored judges for the Family and Consumer Sciences. They did a Food Truck project where they designed and produced a product. I not only was able to help decide the best design of the advertising, I was able to judge the food. I’d buy any of these products! Nice job Raymond Central!
