Richard Gordon Elementary proudly presents our 2025/2026 Reading Roadtrip!

This year, every classroom is racing toward an ambitious goal: 1,000 hours of reading per class. Students will travel across storybook destinations as they log minutes, compete in friendly classroom challenges, and build a lifelong love of reading.

As classrooms move along the Reading Road, our school will also climb toward our fundraising goal β€” powering the programs, events, and opportunities that make Gordon such a special place to learn.
