Thank you to everyone who came out for Spooktacular Bingo this week, we love to see your creative costumes and fun competitive spirit. This year is David S. Pumpkin’s last year as our spooky MC. We are so grateful for his dedication to Roosevelt – even long after his kids moved on! Thank you Scott, your shoes will be hard to fill.

This newsletter will cover all the fundraising and fun things PTA has coming up this fall. We are always looking for new parents to get involved and would be happy to have you volunteer! Contact Whitney to learn more. 

Beautiful Day in the Roosevelt Garden 

Join us for a day in the school garden on November 4 from 9am-1pm. Bring your gloves and trowels and help us clear weeds and debris in the school garden. Come any time and stay for as long as you like. We’ll have donut holes for all! While you’re here, stop by the Book Fair. Go here to sign up to help. 

Book Fair

The Book Fair will be held from November 3-8 in the Roosevelt Library. The special Family Fair is on Saturday, November 4 from 9am-1:30pm. Make it a day by shopping the Book Fair and helping in the garden! Volunteers are needed to set up and break-down, to cashier, restock and organize, and to help kids make their selections of books and toys. If you are unable to volunteer in person, we’re also seeking donations of small water bottles and packages of cookies for our Saturday Family fair. Please review the available slots in the Book Fair volunteer sign up.
