Come and enjoy a cup of coffee with the principal! Parents are invited to come and meet with Principal Girardi over a cup of coffee and snacks at 8:00am in Room 1 (the room across the hall from the school office). Hear first hand about district and school news, talk about any issues or concerns you may have or just come for the coffee. This is also a great opportunity to meet other Roosevelt parents! This is a very casual meeting so if you can only drop in for a few minutes, you’re still welcome to attend. Spanish translation is available for those that need it. If you have a younger child, you are welcome to bring him/her. Tell a friend!

Exercise Bikes Needed…
Our school is starting a new Read and Ride program! Some teachers will have an exercise bike in their classroom for students to use while reading. Our goal is to show how much fun reading can be, while improving health at the same time. But we need your help! We need exercise bikes. Please help us by either donating an exercise bike or doing one of the following: Email your friends, family and colleagues to see if they can donate anything. Ask your church or synagogue to include our request in their bulletin or newsletter. Mention our request on your Facebook page to spread the word. Any donations made are tax deductible.
If you can not bring your donated exercise bike(s) to Roosevelt School, we will come pick them up after-school! Please call the office for more information. Visit www.ReadAndRide.org for more information.
Spirit Wear…
All sizes of Roosevelt spirit wear will be available the week of September 21. Those that pre-ordered spirit wear will be notified when your order is available for pick up. Spirit wear may be purchased in the school office. Please be aware that the office is quite busy at the start of each school day and at dismissal, so please be patient with our office staff.
Win an iPad Mini!…
You can still turn in your $150 donation to the Roosevelt Enrichment Fund to have a chance to win an iPad Mini!
Checks can be made out to Roosevelt PTA. The PTA also accepts credit cards. Please stop by the office or send your pledge forms in an envelope to school with your child. Anyone that gives $150 will get a special green t-shirt that your child may wear as uniform, a gift bag and a chance to win an iPad Mini!
