There’s still time to fundraise for Jog-a-thon!

Jog-a-thon needs your help! The Jog-a-thon was a huge (albeit muddy) success, but we still need your help reaching our goal! We’ve extended our fundraising deadline to April 21, so there’s still plenty of time to get your donations in. 

The Jog-a-thon is the main fundraiser for the Roosevelt PTA and pays for programs like art ($19,000 per year), music ($15,000 per year), and garden ($25,000 per year). Unfortunately, we have only raised about half the money we need to fund these next year. We desperately want to continue to offer this vital enrichment for our students, but if we do not raise the money, we will be forced to cut one or more of these programs.

The good news is, you can still help us! We have until April 21 to raise $30,000 more dollars and save enrichment programs for next year. Every dollar counts, and it is NOT too late! To set up your page go to https://pledgestar.com/roosevelt94061/ to register and make a donation. Donations of cash or checks can be brought to the office.

We have amazing raffle prizes to reward the children for their hard work, so please encourage them to do their best to help raise the funding needed to keep our kids singing, drawing and digging!

Last but not least thank you to our Sponsors! LEARN MORE: http://roosevelt-pta.com/jog-a-thon/

New playground coming soon

It is thanks to your donations to the PTA and last year’s Jog-a-thon success that the PTA is building the upper campus playground for installation during Spring break! We need volunteer help in prepping for install. We have Monday, April 3 through Friday, April 7 from 2:30pm until sundown to complete the work. Here is what is needed:

  • Individual(s) with construction experience to fill in approx 12 hollow steel posts with quick concrete.
  • A team of people to move the tanbark to one pile on the side of the playground.  *If someone has access to a bobcat that would be ideal for this with a smaller team of people, otherwise we need a large team using shovels.

Please share this volunteer request with your friends and families. Upper campus kids, who’ve been waiting all year for their new playground, will greatly appreciate it! To volunteer contact jen@roosevelt-pta.com

  1. President
  2. Secretary
  3. Assistant Treasurer
