Once again, school events are going to be organized by grade level for family fun nights and school events. upcoming_events

Two years ago, the PTA and Principal Girardi decided it was necessary to assign events throughout the year to each of the grade levels. We were experiencing major volunteer burnout with the same 10 or so people organizing and running each event.  This system of organizing events was put in place to help parents get to know other families in their child’s class/grade and help out Roosevelt at the same time.

Your child’s teacher will be asking for parents to represent each grade level for the events. This parent(s) will be contacted by the PTA Chair Person (or event organizer – i.e. Paulette for Book Fair) for the event assigned to their grade level and will help get volunteers for the event. That parent is the one to make sure that the sign up sheets for an event were filled with parent volunteers from each class. Please note: If a class or grade does not have enough people to volunteer for an event, it will have to be canceled.

If there is an event that you would like to help out with, but it is not your child’s grade level you may absolutely volunteer for that event!

The grade levels with larger classes have been assigned more than one event. The parents that are volunteering are expected to help with food service, ticket sales, picking up items, set up, manning the event, etc. The grade level parents are not expected to organize or plan the events. All expenses will be reimbursed by the PTA.

Here are the events and dates that are currently scheduled for this school year.  Please mark your calendars now for your assigned event.
