Ridgeview Elementary is hosting another Read-A-Thon this spring! Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading, and it allows friends and family to encourage your child to read even more.
Our Read-A-Thon starts today, Monday, March 30, 2026. Before spring break, your child received instructions on how to activate their personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress. If you haven't done so, we encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking here on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/cBKKJD/1?utm=email and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read, and helps in the development of stronger reading skills. We hope your reader will join our school and participate. Happy Reading!

Marshall has been relaxing, playing, and even had a little mischief with his little brother over spring break! However, those eyes are soulful and communicate clearly he is missing his students and ready to get back to school!
