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 30% of our way to our annual goal of $78,000. 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!

Roosevelt Pond and Reading Garden

The PTA is undertaking much needed repairs to the pond outside the school library in order to protect our precious fish and turtles. We are seeking community members who may have expertise in either fencing or residential pond maintenance. If you know someone, please reach out to Whitney here.

Get ready for a Spooktacular time

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 25 from 6:00-8:00pm. 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. Tickets are $5 a person or $20 for a family! We ask that you RSVP and pay in advance via our @RooseveltPTARaccoons Paypal, but we will also sell tickets at the door. We are looking for volunteers to help set up and run the event, please sign up here. Volunteering at PTA events requires no school district background checks.
