Rainbows Student Peer Group

A local Rainbows peer group was recently initiated to provide a safe space for students in 1st - 8th grade to share their experiences associated with loss of a loved one and/or a changing family dynamic due to divorce, deployment, etc. Trained facilitators help encourage communication while identifying, navigating and discussing feelings amongst the group. A second session of the program will begin in September of 2024. Each session is 12 weeks long, meeting weekly in the evening for 1 hour.

Please note, we are looking for more volunteers to help facilitate these peer groups. Teachers will receive CPDU credits! Any interest or questions please contact Justine Karl, 847-340-1741 or Phyllis Lubinki, 312-659-6226

Please fill out this Google form to sign up and/or to be added to our communication list."

It’s time to sort out school supplies! The Roosevelt Green Team would like to encourage all families to help students sort through their school supplies by

1. Reusing as many of their school supplies as possible for the next school year. Check out these lists.

2. Donating any gently used school supplies like notebooks, folders, writing & drawing utensils, rulers, pencil cases, etc. Roosevelt School will have a donation box near the office and on each floor. We will also have a drop box at 1309 Brophy Ave. June 5th-June 10th and will take the items to Scarce an organization that works to reduce waste and give back to students everywhere.

3. Recycling all paper products (notebooks/folders). Just make sure to remove any metal parts.

Thank you for helping make the world a greener place!
