Raymondville R-VII Public School District

A big thank you to the Raymondville Volunteer Fire Department for visiting our school today for Fire Prevention Day! Our students learned important fire safety tips and got an up-close look at the fire trucks and equipment. We’re so grateful to our local firefighters for taking the time to teach our kids how to stay safe and for all they do to protect our community.

A big thank you to community member Kim Akers for her generous donation of several Boo Baskets for our students! We held a drawing to spread a little extra cheer, and these lucky students and teacher were our winners! Congratulations to all of them, and thank you again to Kim for helping make this season a little more fun and festive at Raymondville R-7!

Today our 8th graders spent time teaching math skills to the 4th graders. They led stations on multiplication, subtraction, and the distributive property—each with a short lesson, an activity, and some individual practice. It was great to see the older students step up as leaders and the younger ones so eager to learn.

🦅 Happy Boss’s Day! 🦅 Today we celebrate our wonderful superintendent, Mrs. Dana Buschmann, for her outstanding leadership and dedication to the Raymondville R-7 School District. Your vision, support, and commitment to our students, staff, and community make a lasting difference every single day. Thank you for all that you do!

We are proud to recognize our Raymondville students who achieved 90% or better attendance for the 1st Quarter! Your commitment to showing up every day shows dedication, responsibility, and pride in your education. Keep up the great work- attendance is the key to success!

🌟 Outstanding Behavior Award – 1st Quarter! 🌟 Congratulations to these students for setting the bar high with their exceptional behavior and positive attitudes this quarter. Keep up the amazing work—you make our school proud every day!

Mrs. Cichon’s 7th graders practiced using microscopes this week while learning about cells. They’re getting an up-close look at what they’ve been studying in class!

Mrs. Cichon's 7th graders explored the structure of the eye this week with a hands-on (and tasty!) activity. Using marshmallows, frosting, and candy, they created edible models of eyeballs to better understand the different parts and their functions. A great example of learning by doing!
