Raymond Central Public Schools -

Next week is Homecoming Week! We will start the festivities with a Smore's Bonfire in Valparaiso at the softball field following the Senior Night softball game against Platteview. We will start shortly after the game so come support our softball team prior to the bonfire!

The Mustang softball team defeats Milford tonight! Nice job, ladies. Senior night is next Monday, and the annual Pink Out game is Thursday.

As Homecoming approaches next week, the hallways are reflecting the students' excitement. It seems that our students are ready to showcase their school spirit throughout the week. The hallways are visually stunning. Great job everyone. Have fun.

Mrs. Craig and those Art Classes are at it again. I wanted to share this excellent art project that merges sign language and student-generated themes. The in-progress works are captivating enough, but assess the completed projects! Seminole Wind anyone 🙂

The Mustangs battle the Eagles of Milford at home. The Eagles outlast the Mustangs in some epic volleyball. Big hitting coming from both sides in this one.

The Raymond Central Cross-Country team competed today at the Bob Hoyer Invitational at Branched Oak. The Mustangs took advantage of the cooler temperatures, with ten high school athletes running personal bests against a competitive field. Medaling for the Mustangs were Allyson Tvrdy (9th) and Teagan Schomer (14th). Next action for the Mustangs is pink-out at the Raymond Central Invitational at Branched Oak on Thursday, October 2nd. Races begin at 10:00AM. There's no road too long for a Mustang.

CANCELATION. Due to heavy rain last night the softball games at Tekamah-Herman have been canceled today.

Great job and congrats to the A Team JH Volleyball girls! Winners of the Raymond Central FBLA Volleyball Tournament!

The softball tournament in Nebraska City today has been canceled due to rain.

On a great Nebraska night for football, RC moves to 3-1 on the season. What a great atmosphere.

***Picture Retake Information***

Picture Retakes are October 15th.

If you would like to have picture packages replaced for free with their student's retake image, students should bring and turn in their picture package to the photographer on retake day. Orders will be fulfilled for free and send it back to the school for distribution.

A few more details:
-There is no charge for retakes.
-Students and staff that did not get their photo taken on original photo day should come to retake day if they want to be included in the yearbook.
-If students did not purchase a package, we will still retake their image. No worries there. If they do want to purchase a package from their retake photo, the order code is 0094YF for the JH/HS.

The school wide generic picture day codes, including this retake code, will not charge shipping since the orders will be shipped bulk to the school for distribution. Approximately 3 days after photo day, photographed students will be assigned a student specific order code; because those codes are connected to student image and data - orders utilizing that student specific code will incur a shipping charge to the orderers home address.

Please contact the school with any questions!

The Raymond Central Cross Country teams competed this afternoon at the Shamrock Invitational hosted by Scotus Central Catholic. Several runners capitalized on the tough competition and optimal weather to come away with several personal and season's bests. Medaling for the Mustangs were Allyson Tvrdy (5th), Teagan Schomer (6th), Eli Zobel (8th), Sam Norlen (9th) and Kyson Effle (8th, boys junior high). The Mustangs will compete next Tuesday, September 23rd at the Bob Hoyer Invitational hosted by Malcolm at Branched Oak. Races begin at 10:00am. There's no road too long for a Mustang.

Mustangs win in three! RCHS secures a straight sets victory 3-0 against Fort Calhoun. Great volleyball and finishing effort ladies. Congratulations to Savannah Masek as well for her accomplishment of 2000 career assists. That is massive.

The softball games for tonight has been postponed due to potential precipitation. A possible makeup date will be announced once finalized.

Greetings Mustangs. We are holding Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday, September 25 starting at 12:30 PM. A reminder that conferences at the secondary level are not scheduled like in the elementary. We will meet with you upon arrival in the new gymnasium where the staff will be waiting to visit with you. If a special conference time is requested for any reason, please reach out to that staff member personally to try and make arrangements. We look forward to seeing you all soon. See you there.
