As the holiday season surrounds us with its warmth and joy, we want to take a moment to thank you for being an integral part of our vibrant Roosevelt community. Together, we’ve shared moments of growth, laughter, and celebration that make our school truly special.

May this holiday season bring peace, happiness, and cherished time with your loved ones. Whether it’s cozy nights at home, festive gatherings, or quiet moments of reflection, we hope your days are filled with love and gratitude.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to an exciting new year filled with learning, connection, and shared success. Happy Holidays and best wishes for a bright and joyful New Year!

Warmly,

The last day of school at Roosevelt Middle School was a heartwarming and festive celebration that perfectly captured the holiday spirit! The administrators got everyone smiling by dressing in holiday-themed outfits, bringing cheer and laughter wherever they went. The hallways echoed with the beautiful voices of the school choir as they sang Christmas carols, spreading joy to students and staff alike.

The amazing teachers were the true stars of the day, creating an atmosphere of fun and warmth in their classrooms.

The school counselors went above and beyond with a delightful chocolate station for staff, offering a sweet treat and a much-needed moment of relaxation amidst the holiday hustle. Meanwhile, the PTA, and the counseling department hosted a special holiday party for students.

They brought extra excitement by gifting selected students, creating cherished memories, and adding a magical touch to the day.

The combination of thoughtful activities, community spirit, and shared joy made this last day of school an unforgettable celebration for everyone at Roosevelt Middle School.

Thank you to our RMS PTA for spreading the holiday joy to some of our students needing extra support this holiday season. And a huge shoutout to all the parents and staff members who provided gifts for the students. We appreciate all your support!

We love hearing from our parents, join us next time if you couldn't come this week!

It was a pleasure to have parents in the sewing club, some working on their own projects and some moms decided to create a Christmas stocking. Great job! 👌
