Please send in your $50 deposit and/or your next payment for the April Yosemite trip. Checks may be made out to Roosevelt PTA. You may also pay via credit card in the school office or with the Donate button on the parent blog.
5th Grade Families…
Please send in your payments for Outdoor Education in May. As with other field trips and events throughout the year, the PTA can’t fund the entire trip for the 5th grade so we need parent contributions to make this trip happen.

MEND – Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it!…
The “MEND 7-13” program is cutting-edge, evidence based healthy lifestyle program for overweight children ages 7-13 and their parents. Rather than focusing on weight loss, the program uses a practical, interactive learning approach to teach children and parents weight management skills. This includes inspiring families to adopt a healthier lifestyle and enjoy preparing and eating healthy foods as well as reading food labels and healthy shopping on a budget. There are also simple but exciting sessions, which focus on making exercise fun again – especially for children who are not fans of traditional school physical education.
10 Week FREE Program Begins: January 14, 2014 — Tuesdays, 6:30 – 8:30 pm and Saturdays, 11:30am – 1:30pm OR January 15, 2014 — Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8:30pm and Saturdays, 11:30am – 1:30pm both sessions at Sequoia YMCA, 1445 Hudson Avenue, Redwood City 94061
For more information, contact Joseph Jimenez at 650.481.1214
Advance registration required.
Online Directory…
The 2013/2014 school directory is going green! We’ve switched to an online directory to save money on printing costs and to save paper. You will be able to access the directory from your home computer, smart phone or tablet starting in December. You can also update your family information any time during the year. The system will “graduate” your child every year, so you only have to enter the information just once. Each year you just need to verify that your information is correct.

Fundraise While You Shop…
