Our 3-year-old class was *jaw-some* during Ocean Week! 🦈💙 Dressed up as the cutest little sharks, they had so much fun learning, playing, and showing off their big smiles. We can’t get enough of these adorable ocean explorers!
Today we want to give a HUGE thank you to our incredible paraprofessionals! 💛

We are so grateful for all that you do—our school simply wouldn’t be the same without you. Thank you for everything! ✨

Our incredible Shull students earned a Glow Party yesterday, and the excitement was glowing! Everyone had such a great time celebrating their hard work, positive behavior, and school spirit. The energy in the room was contagious, and with all the dancing, laughing, and glowing accessories, it was nearly impossible to capture it all on camera. What an awesome way to reward our students—way to go, Shull Sharks!✨💙
❄️☕ Winter Learning in Our EC Classrooms! ☃️❄️
Our early childhood learners have been busy exploring winter through hands-on learning! Students measured “How many snowballs tall are you?”, counted marshmallows in their painted hot cocoa cups, and used their thinking skills to explain why the snowman melted. Through play, creativity, and conversation, our boys and girls are building math, science, and language skills—while having so much fun along the way! 💙

Pumpkins, pals, and plenty of giggles — Here’s a look at more moments from our fall pumpkin patch visit.

🍁🎃Rain didn't slow us down! Here are a few pictures from our full-day classrooms pumpkin patch visits!
Our students had such a wonderful time exploring the patch, picking out their favorite pumpkins. 🎃
We enjoyed seeing how pumpkins come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. It was a perfect fall day filled with laughter, learning, and lots of autumn memories! 🎃🍁

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.
