Reading With Rampage

LAWNDALE– On Thursday, October 19 the Los Angeles Rams took over Lucille J. Smith Elementary School in Lawndale for a massive pep rally to celebrate reading featuring Rams mascot, and author Rampage.

More than 155 students participated in the Ram Readers program, which encourages students to explore the excitement that reading can provide while helping improve literacy rates among students throughout Los Angeles.

During each Rams Readers assembly, Rampage challenged students to read for at least 20 minutes each day for the following 30 days and provide the participating classes with posters to track their progress.

The Rams’ children’s book, Ride with Rampage, serves as the key component of the initiative. The book takes readers on a journey with mascot Rampage on Rams-branded double decker bus around the Los Angeles region, picking up young Rams fans and Rams Cheerleaders at each stop along the scenic route on the way to the Rams’ new home, SoFi Stadium.
