Roosevelt Elementary School - March 2014

Jr. Achievement Day


At the end of February our school participated in Jr. Achievement Day with employees from Guardian Industries.  What a special event for our Roosevelt  students and the many Guardian volunteers that came to work with our students.  The classrooms were filled with excitement and students eager to participate in the lessons.  I would like to thank Guardian Industries for donating 492 box tops to our school!   Their generosity is greatly appreciated and our students will benefit from their efforts!  


Parent Club

On behalf of the faculty and students of Roosevelt, thank you to the parent club for their assistance with providing goodies and lunch for our guests and staff on Junior Achievement Day!  Additionally, their efforts in collecting donations for the read-a-thon also need to be recognized.  It takes a team to make a school site run efficiently.

Read-A-Thon

Our 5th annual Read-A-Thon was held on Friday, February 21st  from 8:30 – 11:30 am.  The purpose of the  Read-A-Thon is to celebrate our students as readers and raise funds for field trips, assemblies, playground needs, etc.  This is Roosevelt’s only fundraiser and this year with your help, we raised $6876.91!!  Thank you for your support, the students and staff appreciate your efforts!
