Military Resources for Veterans and Their Families
Raymond Elementary is a proud supporter of our Armed Forces. In an effort to better serve our staff and students who are part of the military family, we are providing several links to programs and services designed to assist those veterns and their families in several different aspects of work, school, family and homelife.

If you are a new (or old) military family to our school and have yet to be identified for this program, please contact the Raymond office at 937-578-7200. The student's teachers will be notified and you will join our mailing list for future communication to Raymond's Military familes.
