On the Parent Blog…
I’ve posted pictures of Ms. Brandt’s 1st graders and their Community and American Symbols presentation. Thanks so much to Joanne Dunbar for sending in the pictures!
Redwood City Hometown Parade…
Save the Date! Roosevelt will be participating in the Redwood City Hometown Parade on December 3 at 4:30pm. We will be decorating a trailer to be in the parade. Come and walk in the parade and show your school spirit! It’s a really easy and quick parade route through downtown Redwood City. Details about where to line up will be coming over the next week, so watch for updates. The dollar stores are starting to put out their holiday items, so if you see any santa hats, pick some up to wear for the parade. Contact trishreillytaylor@gmail.com if you have any questions or want to help decorate the trailer before the parade.
WinterFest!…
The dates have been set! WinterFest! will be on December 6 and December 8 this year and will be held at Penninsula Covenent Church (PCC) at 3560 Farm Hill Blvd. December 6 will feature performances by grades – Kinder, 4th, 5th and Room 6A and December 8 will feature performances by grades – 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and Room 6A. For those that don’t know what WinterFest! is, it’s Roosevelt’s annual holiday performance. The children in each grade will be practicing a song or skit over the next weeks to perform on their assigned night of WinterFest!
Monthly Pledges…
Reminder notices are being sent home around the 15th of each month to those who wanted to make a small monthly donation to the PTA. As with any other donation to the PTA, this money is being spent on P.E. for all grades, art, music, field trips, assemblies, etc. Please make sure to put your child’s name and room number on the envelope so that your account can be credited for the tax receipts to be sent out at the end of January. As always, the PTA appreciates your support!
Outdoor Education Fundraising…
The 5th graders are trying to raise money for their Outdoor Education trip in May. They are selling scented candles by the SOI Company. Each candle sells for $22. I bought one last year and it lasted for months and smelled so good! For those that don’t know what Outdoor Ed is, it’s a week long trip to Jones Gulch near La Honda taken by 5th graders at every school in the district. For more information about Outdoor Ed, go to http://www.smcoe.k12.ca.us/
Roosevelt Presentation at Dec 7 School Board Meeting…
Principal Girardi will be presenting a report about Roosevelt School at the Dec 7 School Board meeting at 7:00pm at the District Office. Ms Girardi will be presenting the schools accomplishments and goals and recognizing the many people that help make Roosevelt great and the 5th grade students will be reciting the Constitution’s Preamble. All Roosevelt families are welcome to attend and show your support.
Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!
