READ ACROSS AMERICA
Lessons from our Kindness Ambassadors
Read-A-Thon
It's time for the Mountain View School Read-A-Thon!
Our school Read-A-Thon began on Friday February 21, 2025 and is a fun and exciting event.
The Cat in the Hat continues his "walk' across America. He is just about half way there.
We understand that your time is valuable. We also know that providing the best education for your child is important. That's why we are encouraging everyone to activate their student's Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time.
This account will serve as a hub for recording and monitoring your child's progress as a Reader in the event, and for you to share their Read-A-Thon message with friends and family. Use the link below to activate your student's Reader account:
https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/ptpsHJ/1
Thank you so much for your participation and support. Together, we can make this Read-A-Thon an amazing experience for our young readers! Thank you,

Principal's Message
Spring is almost here! With the weather warming up over the next few weeks, students will be spending more time outside for recess. Please make sure they come to school dressed appropriately for the changing temperatures.
A huge thank you to our teachers and staff, family members, district staff, Board of Education members, and community members for making Read Across America such a special day! Our students had a fantastic time with our guest readers, dressing up, and participating in all the in-class and STEAM activities.
Just a reminder—next week is STEAM Night! Mrs. Olsyn has planned a fun-filled and creative evening for our families to enjoy. We hope to see you all there!
The second trimester ends in a few weeks and report cards will be available in Real Time on March 21st.
Just a reminder.... Please be mindful at dismissal while lining up in the Pick-Up Line. Do not block the crosswalk on Clover Hill Drive or Linwood Ave. Be sure to drive slowly on Linwood Ave and make a complete stop at ALL stop signs. Also, we try to leave Clover Hill Drive (in front of school) open for parents at arrival and dismissal. However, it is a public road and we cannot control who parks there. Thank you for your attention to this and contributing to the overall safety of our school community.
Enjoy the weekend!
