🎉🎉

Last Thursday, Rice was pleased to welcome Dylan Rafaty, Founder, President & CEO of the North Texas Disability Chamber for a firsthand look at what it takes to lead a campus!

This initiative, led by the Plano ISD Education Foundation in partnership with the Plano Chamber of Commerce, gives business, city and community partners an opportunity to experience a school day alongside our principals and connect with students and staff.

Thank you, Mr. Rafaty, for spending time with our Raven community and supporting our schools! 🐦‍⬛
