Ridgeview students enjoyed a visit from David Biedrzycki, author and illustrator of books like Sumo Kitty and ARTificial Intelligence. He shared his process for writing and illustrating books, his advice about persistence, and how all of our students have great ideas! He was incredibly motivational and our students were an excellent audience.






Elementary students had a visit from author David Biedrzycki today. David's presentation was so fun for the students. Students were able to order some of David's books ahead of time and he autographed each copy. Thank you for coming to Ridgeview David! We enjoyed having you!









Happy Earth Day! Kindergarten enjoyed making hats about taking care of the Earth.

B is for Book Day in kindergarten! Students shared their favorite book from home today.📕


We are in the "homestretch" of the school year--but these kids keep going the extra mile!


1st grade kicked off their A-Z countdown to the end of the year. They brought their favorite stuffed animal for A day. Then had fun with Balloons for B day.



Marshall makes the young and the
"young at heart" pay the "snuggle tax"!
