Roosevelt Elementary School - January 2014

It is time to get ready for the …

Roosevelt READ-A-THON!

The Read-A-Thon is our only school sponsored fundraiser for the year!   All money raised will be used for purchasing items for students such as technology, curriculum, playground equipment, etc.  In order to make this a successful event, we need help from you.  We are asking for any donations that can be used for the student prize drawing!  We will take any NEW items that you feel a first grade child would like.  Some ideas are toys, footballs, soccer balls, books, coloring books with crayons, etc.  They even love gift certificates to ice cream or fast food restaurants around town.  No item is too small as we have grouped things together in the past to make a nice prize!  We will take anything you would like to donate and will accept them beginning now and up to the day of the Read-A-Thon. We look forward to this event and will keep you informed as we move closer to the February/March big day.J

Parent Club~

See’s Candy Fundraiser Results!

On behalf of the students and staff of Roosevelt, thank you to our families for their efforts in selling See’s Candy and raising funds that will be used for all of our students!  As a school we challenged ourselves to raise $2000.00.  We managed to bring in $2,200.00!!  Way to go Roughriders! J

Character Trait of the Month:

January - Fairness

We have been seeing students displaying good character at Roosevelt!  We have been honoring their efforts as students have been receiving “Caught with Character” tickets and have been entered in weekly drawings!  Once a name is drawn, the students are able to come to the office and select a special prize from the parent club sponsored treasure box!  It is such a joy to see the excitement in our students as they proudly share the Character trait they displayed in order to receive a ticketJ

Way to go Students!!

Pennies for Patients-

Roosevelt School is currently fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society starting Monday, January 13^th until January 31^st.  The change donated will support cancer research.  Please send in your spare change for a good cause!

The Santa Lucia Parade was a fun-filled evening, as Reagan was well  represented.  The float could not have been possible without the help of Miss Sutton, Mrs. East, Mrs. Raven, the Emmersen family, the Byrum family, the Lane Family and the students who donated their time to be on the float with us.  Thank you all very much!!
