Are You In…To WIN?…
It’s your final chance this year to turn in your $100 donation to the PTA! All families that have donated $100 to the PTA by Friday, May 30 will be entered into a raffle to win a 7 night trip to Villa del Palmar located in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico!
If you haven’t already paid your $100, it’s not too late! Checks can be made out to Roosevelt PTA or you may pay by credit card in the school office or use the Donate button on the parent blog at www.rooseveltparents.com
The PTA would once again like to extend their heartfelt thanks to those families that have already contributed $100 and to those that have been making regular payments on their pledged amounts.
Earthquakes Soccer Game…
Roosevelt has once again reserved seats at the June 28 SJ Earthquakes vs. LA Galaxy soccer game at Stanford Stadium. Flyers went home with information about the game, ticket sale prizes and the order form! All tickets cost $20 each. Tell your friends and family – this game is sold out every year and we are lucky enough to have 300 seats reserved! All orders are due by May 23 so that we have enough time to distribute the tickets before the end of the school year.
Art Show…
Help is needed throughout the day on May 28 to get our students’ art displayed for the Art Show on May 29. Artistic ability is not needed, but you will have to know how to use a stapler! The art work has to be stapled to display boards and tables need to be covered. The students have been working hard all year on their artwork, so please come and help to get it looking it’s best! Help will also be needed on May 30 to take all of the artwork down. If you can only help for an hour or two, it will be appreciated! Please contact Marlene Perez at marlenevperez@comcast.net to help out.
The PTA Needs YOU…
This year, the PTA was able to provide Art, Music, Field Trips, after school Spanish classes, lunch time chess, after school dance classes, Family Fun nights, and so much more! Our PTA board has served the maximum number of terms and so we need people to step up to be the new Roosevelt PTA! This is your opportunity to make a difference at Roosevelt! You can take on one of the board positions alone or with a partner to share the work. This is a great way to get involved and meet other parents at the school. Please come to Monday night’s PTA meeting at 6:00pm in Room 14 to hear more. You may also contact the school office and they will put you in touch with someone from PTA to talk about next year.
Fundraise While You Shop…
Don’t forget to scan this week’s receipts for Shoparoo, check those Safeway receipts to make sure that Roosevelt is getting your escrip credits and look for Box Tops on anything you bought this week! (A note about Shoparoo: there are other Roosevelt schools in the area – one in Burlingame and one in San Leandro. Please make sure that your points are going to the correct Roosevelt School.)
