The Day of Awesomeness at Roosevelt Middle School was nothing short of spectacular! The students had a blast, enjoying all the exciting activities and making fantastic memories together. It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments! 🎉🎈

Thank you to our amazing Liaison, Adelesly Lobato, for creating this AWESOME slideshow!👏

On Tuesday 11/19/24, Beginning Choir performed their first concert! Music included: Swing Low, Mi’kmaq Honour Song, California Dreamin’, Sing with Jubilation, and a medley from “The Night Before Christmas.”

Roosevelt's Owen M. has been selected to represent our school in the All-State Junior High Concert Band at the California Association of Music Educators Conference in Sacramento January 16-19.

He has been preparing for months, and submitted a terrific audition that was judged to be one of the best in the whole state of California.

We are incredibly proud of him and this terrific accomplishment.

This week (November 19th - Tuesday), the Challenge is "To build an automata toy that showcases characters and objects from your favorite book or movie." The toy will use automation, mechanisms, cams, and cranks.

The Wicked movie was a hit! The students were on their best behavior, and the film was very enjoyable. We took notes of things we can do for our Wizard of Oz musical this spring!

Thank you to all the parents who helped out and all those who supported us and helped organize to make this happen. 💖

The moms in our sewing club never cease to amaze with their creativity! For Christmas, they have created the most adorable yarn hats as decorations. Each hat is a tiny masterpiece, brimming with festive colors like red, green, and white, complete with delicate pom-poms on top. These mini hats are perfect for adding a cozy holiday charm. Their dedication and talent bring so much warmth to the season—literally and figuratively!

We want to express our deepest gratitude to the Remmen family for their generous fabric donation to the sewing club. Your kindness and support mean so much to our parents, who are excited to create, learn, and grow their skills. Your contribution will help inspire their creativity and bring their ideas to life. Thank you for being such an important part of our community!
