Did you know Stafford USD 349 is part of the RAISE Educonomy Program?
Raise Kansas Educonomy
(Scroll down to find Stafford!)
Involves: Building connections and sharing resources among siloed organizations in rural communities by bringing together educators, students, rural employers, and community leaders for collaborative discussions and brainstorming sessions.
Goal: To identify and deliver innovative resources and solutions that address:
1. The needs of educators and students in developing a successful graduate.
2. The expectations of local employers regarding graduates to ensure they become successful employees and contribute to a sustainable workforce.
The Gist: This initiative emphasizes the role of rural employers in shaping a successful graduating workforce rather than just consuming it. When students observe community investment in their education and future, they are significantly more likely to return to rural areas. By providing additional academic resources, students will be better prepared for success and achievement beyond high school.
If you have questions about how this program is helping our students, talk to Mrs. Lowther.

The 4th Hour Baking & Pastries class finished their Pumpkin Pie Layer Cakes today. This labor of love took 2 weeks to prepare and assemble each component. Layers consisted of pumpkin cake, pumpkin cream, brown sugar buttercream, pie crust, and marshmallow meringue that they toasted with the kitchen torch. Now the challenge is transporting the cakes home in one piece! Great job!
