Happy Mid-Winter Break Roosevelt families,
My eblast has come a little sooner than I thought!
It is a short week at Roosevelt Elementary! Do your children know about President's Day! I found this link, https://www2.ed.gov/free/features/presidents-day.html, which gives a nice overview and some suggested activities. Who is your favorite President and why?
Attendance was much better this past week! We still need to be diligent in our wellness plan. Therefore I will continue to send my letter about caring for sick children.
Stay tuned for details later this week about our Literacy Night for Parents. As a reminder, you have also received multiple correspondences from the school district about the Read By Grade Three law. The district has posted a Frequently Asked Questions summary on the websites front page,www.livoniapublicschools.org, regarding the Read By Grade Three law. Of course, you can contact me with any questions as well. I will be giving a brief overview of the law and what Roosevelt does to address meeting the needs of students who are falling behind in the area of reading at our Literacy Night.
Congratulations to Tara Moeller and Heather Pac who were recognized at last week's PTA Founder's Day for their contributions to our Roosevelt PTA.

P.E. UPDATE FROM MRS. PLUM
Hello Roosevelt Families! Students have been working hard in PE. We have had a busy 2020 in PE. We started the year by reviewing our favorite games. The golf professionals from the City of Livonia visited Roosevelt to give students an introduction to golf. All students participated in the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the American Heart Association. Our total raised so far is $3,754. The top fundraising class competition is a tight race between Mrs. Garbutt and Mrs. Truchan's first grades. There is still time to donate at http://www2.heart.org/goto/RooseveltElementaryTigers
Information on two other athletic opportunities: The winter round of the After School Bowling Club at Merri Bowl Lanes begins on Tuesday, February 25th. See the attached information. Franklin Baseball is hosting its 14th Annual Future Stars Spring Baseball camp is on Saturday, March 14. Registration forms are available from Ms. Plum
PTA SPRING BOX TOPS REMINDER
The spring box top collection has started! Please send in trimmed box tops labeled with the last name of your child's teacher. You can also scan participating receipts, make sure you click on the star to give credit to your child's classroom and put in the teacher's name. If you have submitted any receipts and forgot to give credit to their classroom you can go back and edit that section. The classroom that collects the most BOX TOPS will receive a special treat!
YOUTH MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Last call for Youth Making a Difference commitment forms. Has your child done anything or is going to do anything to make the difference in the life of someone else? The activity could have taken place between April of 2019 to now. Many of our classrooms have participated as a class/grade level. Please see the attached forms for more information!
