The Electronic Journalism classes taught by Lauri Davidson at Raytown High School are working on a documentary project with the Raytown Historical Society, the Rice-Tremonti Home preservations group and the Cave Spring Historic Site to produce a video on the history of Raytown. Students have spent time researching the history at the Raytown Historical Society and have visited the Rice-Tremonti Home and Cave Spring Historic Site locations.
On December 5th, the students interviewed local Raytown historian Roberta Bonnewitz. Duriing the two hour interview the 98 1/2 years young Bonnewitz gave students a firsthand account of her experiences in Raytown along with insights into her historical research.
