Roosevelt Elementary School Newsletter - November/December 2015

Thank you to all families who attended Parent/Teacher conferences, Grandparents Day, and Danish with Dad.  All of these activities were a huge success and a great deal of fun for all who were able to join us! 

On behalf of the Roosevelt Staff, I would like to recognize the Roosevelt Parent Advisory Club for their hard work and effort in making sure our activities have gone off without a hitch.  From donation organization to arriving early for Danish with Dad, we appreciate their efforts and look forward to working together on future events that support our Roughrider student body!! 

Veterans Day
One tradition at Roosevelt is to honor our Veterans.  On Tuesday, November 10 at 1:15 p.m., we will be honoring our men and women, who have served, and who are serving in our armed forces.  We are inviting all Veterans and service personnel to join us for our program and refreshments.

Santa Lucia Parade~
The Santa Lucia parade will be on Saturday, December 5th.   We will be creating a float to represent Roosevelt!! With that being said, we are in need of some donations!  White Christmas lights, small Christmas trees, white sheets or white table cloths are items we are looking to be donated.   Flyers will go home in the near future providing details about putting the float together and participating in this big community event!

         We’ve got S.T.A.R. character!
 During our Character Education day our students learned about character and what it means to have “S.T.A.R.” Character.  In every location on our campus, students are learning what it means to:
Stay Safe, Take Responsibility, Act Respectfully, and are Ready to Learn!  Students received a badge last week signifying our school has S.T.A.R. character.
