Congratulations to Kaelyn Ray for being nominated and recognized as our outstanding senior student at this month’s Rotary Luncheon. Kaelyn is a great asset to our school district. She is a positive, helpful, hard-working, and thoughtful young lady. Kaelyn is involved in numerous activities including National Honor Society, FBLA, FCCLA, Soccer, Cheer, and Harmony. She also attends the State Fair Career and Technical Center for Graphic Arts. She selected this program to help her prepare for a future career in fashion design. Kaelyn is a very talented vocal student, receiving silver and gold ratings in district and state competitions. We’ve been fortunate to have her sing the National Anthem at many ball games since she was in junior high. Outside of school, Kaelyn works part-time and also volunteers at the Liberty Center with costume design and alterations. Following graduation, Kaelyn plans to attend the University of Central Missouri and major in Fashion Design. We are extremely proud of Kaelyn and her accomplishments and will support her in all her future endeavors.
Congratulations again, Kaelyn Ray!!
