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!

Roosevelt School students held a very special and ceremonious Veteran’s Day Assembly and Celebration for our Veterans of Foreign War. The SPHS chorus, orchestra, and band all came to Roosevelt to play for our Vets and were amazing! There were also some dramatic readings of poetry by our students, as well as a presentation to our Vets of nearly 500 student-created and colorfully decorated cards, complete with a personal message thanking them for their service to our country! The ceremony was capped off with the entire school singing “Grand Ole Flag”, with each waving their very own American Flag! Well done, Roosevelt!
Today Roosevelt students were treated to an assembly relating to Environmental Science and conservation. The Illusion Maker company performed a show that combined the imagery of illusion and magic with an educational twist about the importance of taking great care of our environment by Reducing, Reusing, Recycling, and NOT littering! Special thanks to Dr. Tempel and the Borough of South Plainfield for sponsoring and bringing this “Clean Communities Assembly Program” to our school!
Roosevelt students (and staff) really got into celebrating Red Ribbon Week (and it’s slogan of “Be Kind to Your Mind: Live Drug Free!”). This week students got into the spirit with Crazy Hair Day (see students) and wearing your favorite animal print (see Tigress Teachers)!
Roosevelt students got paid a special visit from our School Resource Officers today! SRO Rene Marte and SRO Stephen Petriello put on a very informative presentation about Bicycle Safety and Halloween Safety. Thank you SROs!!
Roosevelt School Student Council, under the direction and guidance of Mrs. Hyun and Mrs. Gwiazda, organized a fantastic fundraiser for the victims of the Hawaiian Maui Fires.

Student efforts raised $1137 dollars toward the cause and these proceeds were donated to the Maui Food Bank! Great Job Roosevelt!
