Beautiful Day at Roosevelt! Once again Peninsula Covenant Church is generously sponsoring a Beautification Day at Roosevelt School to be held on Saturday, October 17. Our teachers have submitted their wish lists and projects that they would like completed in their classrooms (i.e. cleaning shelves, organizing books, etc.) as well as other small projects all over the Roosevelt campus.

If you are interested, please contact Gwen in the school office at 369-5597 or gthomas@rcsdk8.net. You will have to fill out an application with the district and get fingerprinted.
3rd Grade & Beyond!…
We know that transitioning to 3rd grade involves more than just moving downstairs for our current Roosevelt families! As your 2nd grader is growing and developing academically, we want you to see how PBL grows with them in the Intermediate grades. This is an evening where you will find out what PBL looks like in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. Students whose parents attend this evening event will receive a Raccoon Buck and a Free Dress Pass. Students will also be entered into a drawing to win a pair of Roosevelt sweatpants!
Parents of 2nd graders not currently attending Roosevelt are also welcome to attend. Please call our school office to reserve a spot.
