If you missed the PTA Info Night meeting this week, not to worry, this newsletter is here to inform you of all-things-PTA! PTA meetings happen monthly on the last Tuesday of the month, and occur simultaneously in person and virtually. Our inclusive community welcomes everyone and at each meeting we offer childcare and translation. We hope to see you at the September 26 meeting. If you’d like to view the Info Night presentation, go here: Roosevelt PTA Info Night – 8_29_23.
Who is the PTA and where do the funds go?
The PTA’s goal is to build community, raise money and enrich our student’s experience at Roosevelt. The bulk of the PTA’s funding comes from our Annual Enrichment Fund, the spring Jog-a-thon fundraiser, and Spiritwear sales. A large portion of the money raised goes toward enrichment programs like art and music and also to school events. Check out the graph here to see the breakdown.
How are we doing so far?
We are happy to announce that we are off to a good start this year! We’ve raised 27% of our annual goal. Thank you to everyone that has donated to the Roosevelt Enrichment Fund. There’s still plenty of time to contribute a “100% Pledge” of $350 per child or $500 per family. Donate here. Your company may offer a corporate match program for charitable contributions – if you need help facilitating the corporate match, go to this page for more information.
How can you help?
The PTA is comprised of Roosevelt parent volunteers, and we are always seeking new parents to get involved. Parent volunteers can help as little or as much as they are able! This year, we are seeking help in the garden, help with our website, and help with events and fundraising. We are also seeking room parents to help teachers with special events and to communicate with other parents in their class. Visit our volunteer sign-up to find all the opportunities and reach out to us if you have any questions – we’d love to have you join us!

What’s coming up?
Say hi to us at one of our upcoming events! Our annual Family Dinner Dance is back on Friday, September 15th, from 6-8pm. Roosevelt students, family and staff will enjoy a taco bar dinner, a photo corner and DJ dancing. This is a great way to welcome everyone back for another great year. Tickets are only $5 a person or $20 for a family! Please RSVP and pay in advance via our @Roosevelt-PTA Venmo, so that we have a head count, but we will also sell tickets at the door. We also need your help! Sign up here to set-up, serve food, or clean up – anything you can do, we appreciate. Also, save the date for Spooktacular Bingo on October 27. Come in costume, play games and win fun prizes. It’s always a spooktacular time!
