Happy last week of school! Roosevelt PTA wishes you an excellent summer and thanks you for your support this school year. So many parents and students supported the efforts of the PTA this year. Together, we sent our 5th and 8th graders on trips to Outdoor Ed and Yosemite. We had yet another excellent fund-raising Jog-a-thon (thank you friends, families and sponsors!). We watched our students shine in the Variety Show and we celebrated as a community at the Family Dinner Dance and Spooktacular Bingo. Of course, the biggest and most lasting PTA effort this year is the addition of the new and improved upper campus playground. Our children love it! 

In 2023-2024, the primary goals of the PTA will be:

  • To build connections on our campus with community events, volunteer opportunities, room parent participation and so much more
  • To increase our fundraising so that we can continue to fund programs like music and art
  • To raise enough funds to bring back the garden program

How do we make our goals? We need your help to make it all happen! Please give to the PTA, volunteer, and come to our meetings to help us make Roosevelt a better place for all our children.

Kinder Playdates

PTA is hosting two playdates for incoming kindergarten and TK students for new Roosevelt families to get to know each other before school starts. Both playdates are on the new upper campus playground and older children are welcome. If you have a student entering TK or kindergarten next year, please join us on Saturday, June 10, 2-4pm and Saturday, August 12, 10am-12pm.

Room Parents

A great way to give back to the school community in the new year is to sign up to be a Room Parent. What do Room Parents do? You will: communicate with your class about events and fundraising, support classroom events and PBL activities, support teacher needs and attend PTA meetings. If you are interested in getting involved, email whitney@roosevelt-pta.com or alina.villanueva@gmail.com.

Maze Days

Maze Days is our annual event to kick off the new school year and to introduce families to school services, the PTA and their new teachers! Parent volunteers are needed for various roles to help out. Mark your calendars! Maze Days are on Thursday, August 10, 2-5pm and Friday, August 11, 9am-12pm. As a way of thanking our volunteers, if you do sign up to help out, you can finalize your child’s paperwork 30 minutes prior to the start of Maze Day to “jump” the line. Sign up to help here

Have a great summer and see you next year!
