The first 20 students will be accepted and her class always fills up quickly so get your enrollment forms and money in this week!
Lost and Found…
The Lost and Found cart in the office is overflowing with jackets, sweaters and sweatshirts that have been left on the playground. The children forget them during recess and after school and they end up in our lost and found. Please come by and take a look in the cart to claim your lost item.
Mother/Son Event…
This year, in addition to the Princess Ball, Roosevelt will be hosting an event for the boys of Roosevelt on May 2. The 4th grade is responsible for this event. The event is a ticketed event for Roosevelt boys only (just as the Princess Ball is a girls only event), but any parent may volunteer to help. If you are able to help in any capacity, please email Amber Moeckel at amberdawn519@yahoo.com She is hoping to hold a planning meeting soon. Thank you in advanced for your help making this a great event!
