January 12, 2020
Roosevelt Tigers did an amazing job last week adapting back to our school routines. The next four months are when we really tend to see the greatest growth in student learning. By this time of the year, there are no mysteries as to the routines of the class and school, positive and productive relationships with students and families have been established and we have plenty of achievement data on students to make mid-year teaching adjustments. We look forward to seeing this growth and are excited about the upcoming months.
Thank you to the Roosevelt PTA and Mr. Graham for hosting our family movie night this past Friday evening.

LIVONIA GOODFELLOWS FOOD DRIVE AND TOY COLLECTION UPDATE FROM MRS. STOWELL
Great news ... the Roosevelt Community donated approximately 2,100 food items and 170 new toys during our hosting of the Goodfellows Food Drive and Toy Collection! The donations were distributed the week before Christmas to families in need of support. What a wonderful way to help families celebrate the holidays and begin a new year. Thanks to all who participated in the charitable event by volunteering your time to help and/or donating food and toy items to families in need during the holiday season.
PE UPDATES FROM MRS. PLUM
Hello Roosevelt Families! Students have been working hard in PE. We have been using Tabata warm-ups to develop our muscles. Tabata training is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout, featuring exercises that last four minutes. Students have been practicing their hand dribble and basketball shooting skills as well as jumping skills. 4th-grade families: Your child can ski/snowboard for free this winter at participating ski areas with the Cold is Cool Passport. Visit https://www.goskimichigan.com/cold-is-cool/ for more information. Looking ahead to 2020, we will be hosting instructors from the City of Livonia golf program as well as participating in the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge.

RECYCLING ITEMS
Roosevelt Elementary School is proud to introduce two new recycling programs that will benefit the planet as well as our school. We will be collecting dental care items and snack pouches and sending them to TerraCycle. TerraCycle is a global enterprise dedicated to eliminating waste in our landfills and oceans. They take items that are typically non-recyclable and work with leading companies to turn them into new products. The more items we send, the more TerraCycle will donate to our school. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RINSE OUT HEALTHY SNACK POUCHES OR TOOTHPASTE TUBES, just make sure they are as EMPTY as possible and put the cap back on when possible. Please see the flyers attached and look for the collection flyers sent home with your student.
Collection bins will be located in the school and recycle items can be sent to school with students.
Colgate dental care program
- Any brand of toothpaste tubes and caps
- Any brand of toothbrushes
- Any brand of toothpaste carton and toothbrush outer packaging (NOTE: a lot of these are plastic coated and cannot be curbside recycled)
- Any brand floss container
PLEASE NO ELECTRIC OR BATTERY TOOTHBRUSHES, AND/OR THEIR PARTS.
GoGo squeeze program

Thanks for all your help and enthusiasm!
