3 weeks to Jog-a-thon! 

Get ready for our annual Roosevelt School Jog-a-thon! With just 3 weeks to go, it’s time to start fundraising for this exciting event on May 16th. Each student’s goal is to raise $80 to help support PTA-funded programs like art and music, field trips, and family fun nights. So far only 50 of 469 (or 11%) of students have started online fundraising. There’s still plenty of time to get started!

Fundraising isn’t just about supporting our school; it’s also an opportunity for students to win exciting prizes like trips to Great America and bowling. Every $20 they raise puts the student in the raffle for great (donated) prizes. Visit the JAT website for details and get ready to make a difference! Be sure to look in your email for your 99 Pledges personalized fundraising site, or follow the instructions on this link to set up a page.

With special thanks to our local sponsors for their generous donations that help pay for the Jog-a-thon event: Dehoffs’s Key Market, Woodside Pediatric Dentistry, Today Sotheby’s International Realty, CSI Electric, Andrews Orthodontics, Burgos Design Group, Mountain Mike’s, Creative Gates,   W.L. Butler, and Donut King Redwood City. Be sure to visit their businesses to show your support!

Volunteers needed for Jog-a-thon

Jog-a-thon volunteers are needed between the hours of 7am and 1:30pm on the day of the event.  If you are interested in helping (even just part of the time!) please sign up for a shift (or 2!). You can escort your child’s class down to the field, take photos, help set-up or break down and more! Sign up here

Join the PTA Board

Join our PTA Board! As we look ahead to the new school year, we have exciting opportunities for parent community members to become involved. While our current PTA members’ children are transitioning to upper grades, we’re eager to welcome parents from lower grades (K, 1, or 2) to bring fresh perspectives to our team. We’re seeking candidates for various positions. If you’re passionate about making a difference in our school community, we encourage you to reach out to PTA President, Whitney for more information.
