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. Students were able to purchase leis for two dollars each and on Friday October 20th, “Hawaiian Day” happened at Roosevelt! Student efforts raised $1137 dollars toward the cause and these proceeds were donated to the Maui Food Bank! Great Job Roosevelt!
Roosevelt students really got into celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! One particular activity that brought the passionate side out in the students, was learning about some of our current day Hispanic heritage heroes like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are both arguably the biggest athletic names in the world! Students got to vote on whom they thought was better by decorating the uniform jersey of their favorite player, and then posting it to the board hanging in the hallway. Can you count them up and see who got the most?
Roosevelt students were wild for Tiger Bucks this month—with the building theme being RESPECT!
The BRAIN SHOW Assembly came to center stage at Roosevelt School, as students got the chance to participate in a real-live game show! In the evening, parents and entire Roosevelt Families were invited to participate together once more. This was very much enjoyed by all. Special THANKS to the Roosevelt PTO for setting this up for us!
Roosevelt third grade student Aadhav Shankar was selected to display two separate pieces of his original artwork The Tulip Field and The Night Sky (both pictured below) at the 4th World Cultural Arts Festival at the National Mall grounds in Washington D.C. this past weekend! Hundreds of submissions came in from around the world, and Angie (an 88 year old professional artist pictured below with Aadhav and his mom) picked Aadhav’s work to be displayed. If you see Aadhav, Grade 3 in Ms. Lyne’s class, on the playground, on the bus, or in the halls of Roosevelt School, be sure to congratulate him. We are very proud of him, as are his parents (seen below with Aadhav)!
