"Roosevelt School’s Day of Service was in full effect this year as our students were busy, busy, busy! The Day of Service for our students consisted of cleaning up our parks (Pony Tail and Memorial Park), Rock Painting as part of the front of school beautification project, delivering lunches to the nurses at St. Peter’s Children’s Hospital, decorating and delivering freshly potted flowers to our Roosevelt School community neighbors, and beautifying our school grounds by pulling weeds, planting flowers and decorated rocks and laying fresh mulch to make it pop! As if this weren’t enough, our biggest event took place in the afternoon: The Color Run! This FUN fundraiser raised over $3200 dollars! This along with our earlier fundraisers, brings our grand total of fundraising for the Day of Service to be $5,863 dollars! This will be split in half ($2931.50 each) to our two fundraiser recipients: The Ronald McDonald House and South Plainfield Social Services! Our students definitely learned that Doing Good really does make you FEEL GREAT!!!" - Mr. Fierra
On May 11th, 2024 students from Franklin, Roosevelt, Grant, and South Plainfield Middle School participated in the CJMEA Honors Chorus Festival. The choral students of our district shined and had a wonderful experience rehearsing and performing under two very esteemed conductors. It was a day full of growth for all involved and we are excited to have them bring back their knowledge to our choral ensembles in the district. Thank you to Ms. Vex, Ms. Blair, Ms. Maddolin, and Mrs. Haughwout for your time with the students involved in this program.

Congratulations to Mrs. Haughwout and Roosevelt school students Navyasree Nadamalla, Aaliyah Talwadker, Anaya Singh, and Sreeja Banerjee on their fantastic CJMEA Elementary Honors Orchestra performance. The concert was amazing! Great Job!
"Friday, May 3rd, marked an important date at Roosevelt School: Lunch Lady Appreciation Day! Roosevelt students sang songs, recited poetry, wrote letters, made cards, drew pictures, and finally presented our two amazing lunch ladies with Lunch Lady aprons signed by all of our students. Ms. Antoinetta and Ms. Dana play a very important role in our school and in the lives of our students. We couldn’t go a day without them!" - Mr. Fierra
Roosevelt students were front and center increasing our cultural awareness during our much-hyped Diversity Day. They certainly lived up to the hype and did not disappoint as you will see by watching the video.

March is a busy month here at Roosevelt School! We opened the month with the Harlem Wizards, and the following Monday (March 4th) we hosted one of our most special events of the year: Roosevelt’s Read Across America Day! It was awesome! Rather than you read about it here, why not just see for yourself! - Mr. Fierra

Congratulations to today's Tiger Bucks winners at Roosevelt School! Great job everyone!
The “Play was the Thing” at Roosevelt School during our 3rd Annual Theater Week celebration. Over 150 students participated in this year’s show, which was a huge hit for student audiences (the show ran as an assembly during the day), as well as for parents and families (the show ran in the evening to a capacity crowd)! Talent!
Love was in the air on February 14th at Roosevelt School! Our Roosevelt students celebrated Valentine’s Day with delicious ice cream sundaes and plenty of fun games courtesy of our Roosevelt PTO and fantastic class moms!
The Winter Concert at Roosevelt School packed the house this year! The students did an amazing job and participated in full force with record numbers of students coming out for Chorus, Orchestra, and Band! Also Roosevelt’s own, Mrs. Celentano (AKA the Chorus Whisperer), reunites with members of the high school elite chorus who all had one thing in common: Not only did they all attend Roosevelt but they all had Mrs. Celentano in third grade!
Roosevelt’s Tiger Buck winners rejoice in the winner’s circle! While students in Ms. Soden’s and Ms. Ulloa’s classes got ready for their version of the Macy’s Day Parade, complete with their balloon floats!
Plenty of excitement happening at Roosevelt School! See information on our Kids Heart Challenge, Designer Bag Bingo Night, and The Harlem Wizards!
