It is with the heaviest and shattered hearts we announce the passing of our sweet Allegra Ann Raiger.  On February 11, 2025 she went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was sudden and unexpected and we sadly are still waiting to understand what happened. 

She was in the middle of planning her wedding in May, to be married to the love of her life, Joseph McKay. Allegra was the happiest she had ever been in her life. She had her dream job, her new apartment, and a righteous man of God to be her life partner. Allegra’s faith was also firing on all cylinders and she was on fire for the Lord and her community. The Lord decided her race was over, and she won! 

These are her words that she was so excited to share with her new fourth-grade class this year. We think it’s appropriate Allegra tells you about herself, as she was so proud to share her life with all she met. 

 Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Allegra Raiger and I am so excited to be joining the Amazing 4th Grade Team at Literacy First Charter School. I am eager to begin our journey together with both you and your students as well as to have them in my class!

Our 4th Grade team has been working diligently to ensure that we have the best year ever! I have quickly learned, what a special place LFCS is to work, learn, and have fun! I look forward to partnering with you, as your child grows academically, building character, and finding their place as future leaders. I believe in providing your child with a safe learning environment, where they can take risks to reach their full academic and personal potential. Our class motto is to work hard, take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!

I graduated from California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) with my Bachelor's degree in Literature and Writing with a minor in Theater as well as earned my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from CSUSM. I also earned my Master's Degree in Leadership and Learning with a concentration in Reading Recovery from Point Loma Nazarene University! In the fall, I will be entering my 7th year of teaching which all have been within the Charter system. I am thrilled to be part of the LFCS family!

In my free time, I cherish moments with my boyfriend Joe, family, and friends. We share a passion for all things Disney and musicals, and we love traveling and discovering new places together. As the eldest sibling, I'm a proud big sister to my incredible brothers, Phelan, a police officer, and Ryan, a pilot. When I'm not teaching, I indulge in my other interests, which include baking and cooking, reading, journaling, exploring, and shopping. These experiences and passions enrich my life and inspire my work in the classroom.

"This is my tribe. I found them all on my own. It's a little broken. But still good. Yeah, still good." -Stitch
