In preparation for the visit, students explored her website and delved into her books and the stories she created. During the session, Angela shared what inspired her to become a writer, gave insights into her writing process, and answered student questions.
Angela was impressed by how much our students knew about her work and writing, thanks to the thoughtful questions they prepared. It was an inspiring experience for all!
On April 7, voters will consider a $45 million bond proposal. The Board of Education approved placing the measure on the ballot at a special board meeting. The proposed bond is structured as a no-tax-rate increase measure. If approved, the districtโs debt service tax rate is projected to remain the same, based on current state school finance law.
๏ปฟThe proposed bond focuses on:
Safety and security improvements
Early childhood learning spaces
Expanded student learning and activity opportunities
Student activities and site improvements
Maintaining existing facilities
With safety leading the way, proposed improvements would impact every school in the district.
The district website will serve as the primary source for bond information and updates in the weeks ahead. Learn more at www.raypec.org/PropRP2026.

On Friday, we had the joy of welcoming Kansas City author and illustrator Brad Sneed! Our Kโ2 students went behind the scenes of book creation as Brad shared how he uses his imagination to tell stories, plans ideas with storyboards, and transforms simple doodles into incredible books.
