Through play, creativity, and conversation, our boys and girls are building math, science, and language skillsโwhile having so much fun along the way! ๐

More than 100 Ray-Pec staff members recently completed CPR/AED training! The training was sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City and was provided free to employees by the Raymore-Peculiar Wellness Team. After completing online training modules, staff gathered on May 5 at the LEAD Center to complete the assessment.
Tarion Shelby, at right, was hired this semester to work in our Child Nutrition Department at Shull Early Learning Center with Tracy Hoover. Tarion was a Transition Skills student at the LEAD Center. The partnership resulted in a positive experience for Tarion and for Shull.
๐ We couldn't be prouder of Caleb and Aaron for being awarded the Helpful and Kind Award! ๐ Caleb went above and beyond with his helpful actions. Aaron showed incredible compassion by helping a friend who was struggling to come in from recess. Kindness matters! ๐
