Ridgeview Athletic Boosters

05/31/2026

The 2025-2026 sports seasons are officially done. The Ridgeview Athletic Boosters would like to thank all of our parent volunteers who help out in the concession stand, all of the fans that visit us at the games and everyone who supports our organization.

We will be holding our final meeting of the season this Thursday, June 4 at 7pm in Mr. Kennedy's classroom. If you are interested in being a part of the boosters, we would love to have you! Next year, 3 of our board members will be serving their final year of service, so we will be looking to add new faces to our board.

We are already looking forward to next year and are excited to see you all again! Have a wonderfully fun and safe summer Mustang Country!

Here are all of the things that the Boosters helped fund this year.
