Welcome to our once-a-month newsletter that features a recap of the monthly PTA Meeting, upcoming events, and ways to get involved in the Roosevelt community.
Fundraising
Great News!! We are off to a really great start with donations this year. Thanks to your generosity, we are already over 33% of our way to our annual goal. Our full year goal is $77,000 ,which allows us to fully fund and possibly expand the enrichment programs we offer on campus. It’s not too late to give to the PTA! Donate to the annual Enrichment Fund here, and learn more about corporate matching here. Your company may match your contribution dollar-for-dollar!
PTA Events
Thank you to everyone that attended the Family Dinner Dance! It was a great way to kick off the year. Our next event is on October 27 from 6:30-8:00pm. Spooktacular Bingo is THE event of the year – come in costume and there’ll be bingo, big prizes, and a little bit of “boo”! The event will include snacks but not dinner. We are looking for a co-chair and volunteers, please sign up here. Tickets are only $5 a person or $20 for a family! Please RSVP and pay in advance via our @RooseveltPTARaccoons Paypal, so that we have a head count, but we will also sell tickets at the door. Spooktacular Bingo Flyer
Ways to get involved
Join the PTA and attend meetings
A simple way to get involved is to join the PTA! PTA membership allows you to vote on issues and is only $5 per year. You don’t have to be a member of the PTA in order to attend meetings or have an opinion! PTA meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Our next meeting is Tuesday, October 24 at 6pm.
Jog-a-thon Committee
Our biggest fundraiser of the year is the Jog-a-thon and we need new volunteers to help us pull it off. Volunteers help us get sponsors, prizes, and so much more! Our first meeting will be held soon. If you are interested in assisting, contact Gabby at Gabrielle@roosevelt-pta.com
Room Parents
Teachers still need Room Parents for several classrooms, and there is always opportunity to co-Room Parent if you don’t see your child’s class on the “needs a parent” list. Room Parents should be on the lookout to help with the Fall Festivals (10/31). The following teachers are still seeking Room Parents: McLain, Emery, Miller, Hawthorne, Miller and Tran. If interested, please reach out to Alina VIllanueva, Room Parent Coordinator, to volunteer or ask questions.
Garden Program
While the PTA is not funding the teacher-led Garden Program this year, there are still ways to help in the garden! We are hoping to organize 2-3 workdays in the garden this year to ensure that it is maintained and ready for a gardening program in the next school year. We are seeking volunteers with gardening knowledge to organize workdays. If you would like to get involved, contact Whitney Glockner Black
IT Help needed
Do you have experience with websites, wordpress, and other such things? Volunteer to help us with IT projects! The PTA is seeking help with our website, upgrading our wordpress site, and our email integration. Contact Whitney Glockner Black if you are interested.
Health and Wellness
Are there any health and wellness needs that you think our students could use? Let your voice be heard on one of two Redwood City School District committees: the Health & Wellness Committee or the CNS Advisory Committee. If you are interested, contact Patrinia Redd, Director of Health and Wellness at predd@rcsdk8.net or (650) 482-2252.
