"Da' Plungers of Ray-Pec" are raising funds for Special Olympics
Starting at noon on Saturday, Jan. 26, some brave Ray-Pec students and staff members will take the plunge into Longview Lake to raise money for Special Olympics! 

Ray-Pec has been one of the top fundraisers for Missouri Special Olympics over the past several years.

The forecast is calling for air temperatures in the 30s, but you don't have to plunge the frigid waters to support the effort. You can donate to the Ray-Pec team or an individual team member who is willing to get wet for a great cause.


(As of mid-day Thursday, Ray-Pec was the top fundraising team.)
You are invited to attend the annual Gala
Proceeds benefit the Ray-Pec Public School Foundation
