WinterFest!…
Please join us for Roosevelt’s annual WinterFest celebration at PCC – 3560 Farm Hill Boulevard. Each class is paired with their “buddy class” for their WinterFest performance. There are three concert times – Wednesday at 5:30pm, Wednesday at 7:00pm and Thursday at 6:00pm. Look for your child’s room number for the day and time of their class performance.
Handwriting (Cursive) After School Class…
Due to the elimination of handwriting from the state standards, students haven’t been taught handwriting for the past four years in California. Our PTA thinks that our students should still learn the fundamentals of handwriting so they have added a handwriting class to be offered starting in January after school. The class will begin on January 5 and will be held on Tuesdays & Thursdays after school for 3 weeks. Students must be in 3rd – 6th grade and the class size is limited to the first 20 students that turn in their forms. Look for the flyer in this Thursday’s blue folder for more information.
BoxTops Challenge!…
Don’t forget to turn in your BoxTops for the next challenge – Boys vs Girls! Who will rule the school? Each BoxTop is worth 10¢ and they add up fast! Look for the challenge form in the Thursday folders or stop by the office and look for the Boys or Girls box to add your BoxTops.
Superintendent’s Advisory Council of Parents…
Superintendent Dr. John Baker is forming a Superintendent’s Advisory Council of Parents to provide him with information about important issues facing the district. The group will be comprised of up to 2 parents from each school in the district, and will meet from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on the 3rd Thursday of each month from January-May, 2016. Applications are due by December 18. If you’re interested, go to http://bit.ly/21nzNLw
“Food for Fines” at the Redwood City Public Library!…
Do you have outstanding library fines? Well, this is your chance to clear your account by simply helping others.
The Redwood City Public Library, in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, will accept donated food in place of overdue book fines over the month of December as part of their “Food for Fines” program.
Anyone with outstanding library fines is invited to deliver nonperishable food items to any Redwood City library during regular business hours. The higher the amount of your unpaid fines, the more food you can donate.
