Roosevelt Revue

What a great start! We have had our first Roosevelt "Wrap Up" assembly, selected our cross grade level cabins, started earning stickers for our school wide goal, and worked on our cabin chants. What are cabins you might be wondering? Each of our 114 students and all staff are selected for one of four colored cabins; red (Explorers), yellow (Discovery), green (Pathfinders), and blue (Trailblazers). We meet almost every Friday from 8:40-9:00 where we build connections, do activities around our life skill of the month, and have fun together. We look forward to learning together! Check out our school Facebook page for the pictures of each cabin!

Also, did you know that it is Roosevelt's 100th School Year?! What an exciting thing to have happen to a school. We will be hosting an Open House celebration in the near future. Stay tuned for further details!
