What a wonderful way to celebrate the last day of school! 🥞🐺
A huge thank you to City Light Church for arriving bright and early to prepare and serve a delicious pancake breakfast for our Ridgeview community. We are so grateful for their generosity and partnership in helping us kick off summer with full hearts (and full stomachs!).
As we wrap up another amazing school year, we wish all of our Timberwolves a safe, fun, and relaxing summer break. Thank you to our students, families, staff, and community for making this year so special.
Be sure to watch your inbox later this week for our end-of-year newsletter, which will include many photos and highlights from this past month. We can't wait to share all the memories!
Have a great summer, Timberwolves! ☀️📚🌲

Our final Den Day of the school year was a fantastic celebration of our Timberwolves and an important part of our Tier 1 (ALL Students) PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports program)!
Students rotated through five engaging stations:
✈️ STEM – Paper Airplane Building
🎨 Belonging – Decorating the sidewalks with colorful chalk art
🖊️ Connection – Signing yearbooks and autograph pages
🦋 Creativity – Tie-dye butterflies inspired by The Dot
🔍 Fun – A playground scavenger hunt led by Student Council
We loved spending one of our final Mondays together building connections, celebrating creativity, and having fun as a school community.
A huge thank you to Shadle Park High School Leadership students and all of our volunteers who helped make the day run smoothly. Your support helped create lasting memories for our Timberwolves!

This week, our Kindergarten and 1st grade students had the exciting opportunity to “shop” at a special book fair right here at school and choose 12 books of their very own to keep and enjoy all summer long! 📚☀️
Ridgeview is grateful to partner with the Page Ahead Children’s Literacy Program through the Book Up Summer program. Research shows that reading over the summer helps students maintain the skills they learned during the school year and prepares them for a strong start in the fall.
One of the best ways to encourage a love of reading is by making sure children have books they are excited to read at home. We are so thankful to be part of a program that helps put books directly into the hands of our students! 💙📖

We put a fun twist on our annual spring door decorating contest this year by celebrating Earth Day! 🌎✨

Our 2nd and 3rd grade Spring Concerts were a hit! 🌸🎶
From the familiar notes of “Hot Cross Buns” to the playful sounds of “Hawaii 6.0,” our students showcased their musical talents with recorders and xylophones, bringing smiles and energy to the stage. Each classroom delivered a performance full of enthusiasm, creativity, and growth. It was truly a joy to watch!
A big thank you to our music teacher, Mr. Roeber, for his dedication and hard work in preparing our students. We’re also so grateful for the continued support of our amazing Ridgeview community.
Bravo to all of our young musicians on a fantastic performance! 👏🎵
