PTA Fundraising update
With three months left of the school year, we are aiming to reach our $77,000 fundraising goal. Fundraising is critical in the last few months of the school year. You can give back with our Easter See’s Candy fundraiser, restaurant nights, and of course our biggest fundraiser of the year, the Jog-a-thon. Read below for more details on what is coming up, including the return of Family Lego Night!    

Family Lego Night
On Friday March 8 from 6:30 – 8:30pm, Roosevelt PTA is excited to bring back Family LEGO Night!! This is a free event for the entire family. Come and build! We will not be serving dinner so please eat before you arrive. Raffle tickets will be sold at the door for $1 each (cash only) for the chance to win LEGO sets.  Lastly, we’re looking for volunteers to donate baked goods and help with the event: please sign up here. If you have questions, reach out to Bridgette. 

Chipotle Fundraiser

Sees Fundraiser
Did you find the Sees fundraising flyer in your child’s Thursday folder? We hope you will consider asking friends and family to purchase some chocolate to raise money for Roosevelt field trips. Delicious goodies will arrive before Easter, if candy is ordered by the March 22 deadline. See this flyer for more information.

Jog-a-thon sponsors
May 16, 2024 is our 6th annual Jog-a-thon, our primary annual fundraiser. We are seeking sponsors to cover the cost of the event so that all student fundraising directly benefits the school. If you are a local business or know of someone who can contribute, contact Gabriel.

Seeking IT & Web Support Volunteer
Are you tech savvy and have a few extra hours to lend the PTA support? We need to upgrade crucial infrastructure such as: website security, wordpress, email, website content. Please contact Whitney at whitney@roosevelt-pta.com if you can help with one or all of these needs.

PTA Fundraising update

Great news: we are well on our way to making our $77,000 fundraising goal this year! We’re very optimistic about bringing the garden program back for the 24/25 school year. In the meantime, our community is helping to take care of the garden through maintenance days and recently, a local Cub Scout Troop volunteered and weeded the garden. Thank you! Fundraising is critical in the last 5 months of the school year. Look for ways you can give with an Easter See’s Candy fundraiser, restaurant nights, and of course our biggest fundraiser of the year, the Jog-a-thon.

If you opted out of being in the directory, but would like to have a JAT fundraising site auto-created for your student, please send your student’s name and your email to Jenny Barnes at jenny@roosevelt-pta.com. If you have any JAT questions, come by the PTA table at the Reading Fair on Friday, February 9 at 5:30pm.

This newsletter is full of ways you can give – to the PTA, to our students and more.

Be sure to look into corporate matching if your workplace offers a program. Learn more here

November 28, 2023 /

It’s Giving Tuesday! Giving Tuesday is a global movement that reimagines a world built upon radical generosity, following Cyber Monday and kicking off the season of giving. If you are looking to give a tax deductible donation to a cause that matters, how about your child’s education through giving to the Roosevelt Parent Teacher Association?

Our Roosevelt PTA Enrichment Fund strives to improve the education of every child at Roosevelt and supports family events, the art and music enrichment programs, and so much more! We take donations at 100% of our target of $350 per child or $500 per family per school year, or any dollar amount you choose. It’s also a great time to find out if your company offers  corporate matching of your donation. Some will match dollar-per-dollar, and others will match a portion of the contribution, up to a pre-determined maximum amount. To learn more about corporate donation matching, click on this link here.

Our volunteer run Parent Teacher Association thanks you for your support and wishes you a very happy holiday season.

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

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.

We are seeking volunteers with gardening knowledge to organize workdays. If you would like to get involved, contact Whitney Glockner Black

9/3 Roosevelt PTA Newsletter – All-things-PTA

September 3, 2023 /

PTA jog-a-thon

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!

Room Parents needed

Looking for a way to support your teacher this year? Consider becoming a Room Parent. We still need parents for the following grades:

TK:  Kayla Kamlley
2nd: Michelle McCaffrey (Emery)
3rd: Lydia Pacheco
4th: Ashley Miller
5th: Stephany Acevedo
8th: Natalia Hawthorne and Montana Miller
SLC: Jesica McLain and Dennis Tran

If interested, please reach out to Alina VIllanueva, Room Parent Coordinator, to volunteer or ask questions. 

What are easy ways to get involved with the PTA?

Here are three easy ways to get involved:

  1. Come to an event
  2. Volunteer one time this year 
  3. Make a small donation 

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.

Summer is almost here! Roosevelt PTA Newsletter – Jun 4, 2023

June 4, 2023 /

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!

5/7 Roosevelt PTA Newsletter

May 7, 2023 /

The new playground is here!

The buzz at Roosevelt this week was the opening of the new upper campus playground! It’s thanks to your donations to the PTA and last year’s Jog-a-thon success that the PTA built the upper campus playground. Our kids love the merry-go-round, the monkey bars, and everything else included in the new play structure. Thank you to all the PTA board members, workers and volunteers who helped make this happen for our kids! 

Jog-a-thon wrap-up

Jog-a-thon was a great day for our runners, and we raised $32,000. Congratulations to our Grand Prize winner, Anthony Escudero and Runner Up: Clementine Young! We should be proud that 138 students raised money, 102 students met the goal of $80 and 7 classes made their goal. Thank you to our generous sponsors for covering our costs and to all the volunteers who make Jog-a-thon our best community event. Despite these successes, we fell short on our fundraising goal this year, and are looking at ways to reduce our spending in the coming year. As the new school year comes around, we encourage all families to donate to the PTA fund so that we can continue to fund programs like art, music and more. 

Join the PTA Board 

PTA will have open Board positions in the new school year and we seek new members of our parent community to join us. Our current PTA members will all have children in the upper grades and we would like a few parents from the lower grades (K, 1 or 2) to help round out our Board. Open positions include President, Secretary, VP of Events and more. If you are interested in any of these volunteer opportunities, contact PTA President, Allison Fujimoto at allison@roosevelt-pta.com.

Help with the Pond

Our students LOVE the school pond and Ms. Paulette is having trouble maintaining it on her own. She needs help skimming the pond, feeding the fish, checking the filters and pulling some weeds from time to time. We need volunteer help! If you are interested please reach out to Paulette at pelliott@rcsdk8.net
