PTO Walk-A-Thon Fundraiser-October 11th

What is the Walk-A-Thon?

The Roosevelt Elementary Walk-A-Thon is a fun event to promote healthy lifestyles and raise money to support educational opportunities at Roosevelt Elementary.

Each student is asked to safely raise $75 (or whatever amount they can) to support the event and the school’s mission. Please feel free to reach out and collect donations

from family and friends, but due to safety concerns, please do not go door-to-door asking for donations unless you are with a parent.

The main event is the walk itself. All classes participate in the walk as part of their school day, accompanied by teachers.

When Do We Turn In The Money?

Please turn the money in on Thursday, October 10th.

New! Donate money online.

All checks should be made payable to Roosevelt PTO.

100% of your donation is tax-deductible.

What Do We Do With the Raised Funds?

All funds raised stay at Roosevelt. Our PTO pays for field trips, reading incentives, classroom supplies, purchasing every fifth grader a yearbook, Math Masters, funding requests from staff, and more!

What Can I Do To Help?

There are several volunteer opportunities including chaperones, crossing guards, and water table attendants. We are looking for approximately 11 volunteers. We will make sure that you are able to walk with your student! Please email Jamie at themalvinfamily@gmail.com to volunteer!

Student Test Scores Update

Families of MAPS -
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work through the process of digitally sharing student performance data from the MCA Test(s). We are currently collaborating with our software company to get each student’s Individual Student Report loaded to Infinite Campus.

I wanted to inform you that we anticipate the student reports will be available later than usual within the state-determined communication window.

I will keep you updated as we work on this project.
