Winter 2025/Spring 2026 - Foundation Awards over $7,000 in Impact Grants

The Raymore-Peculiar Public School Foundation is excited to announce that we awarded more than $7,000 in Impact Grants during the 2025 Winter/2026 Spring grant cycle to support innovative learning opportunities across the district.

These grants provide teachers and staff with resources that go beyond traditional classroom funding, helping bring creative ideas, hands-on learning experiences, and meaningful student support to life.

This cycle’s funding will impact students from Pre-K through high school in a variety of areas including STEM, science, literacy, physical education, journalism, functional skills, mental health support, and career-focused learning opportunities.

Projects funded this cycle include:

• STEM experiences

• Cardboard Cutters

• Animal learning opportunities

• Morning manipulative tubs for early learners

• Professional development focused on student anxiety and mental health

• New PE equipment and fitness initiatives

• Classroom book clubs and literacy experiences

• Journalism camera equipment

• Hands-on greenhouse and plant propagation projects

• Staff support and appreciation initiatives

In total, 13 projects received funding, representing schools and programs from across the district. These grants are possible because of the generosity of our community, donors, and supporters who continue to invest in Ray-Pec students and staff.

We are grateful for the educators who continually seek innovative ways to engage students and create meaningful learning experiences. Congratulations to all of our 2025 Winter/2026 Spring Impact Grant recipients!
