Roosevelt Wildcat Weekly

Dear Parents,

We want to inform you about the important bullying talks we had with all students this week. Unfortunately, we have had several incidents of students being bullied on our campus recently. Our discussions centered on the importance of creating a safe and inclusive environment. We emphasized the values of kindness, respect, and empathy. Our goal is to foster a sense of collective responsibility and empower students to be active participants in creating a positive school environment. We encourage you to reinforce these messages at home and engage in open conversations with your children about their experiences. Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of our students.

RMS Administration

We are so thrilled with the incredible success of our recent Artful Learning Showcase. The event showcased the incredible artistic talents and growth of our students, and it wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and passion of our exceptional teachers. Their unwavering commitment to fostering creativity, nurturing individual expression, and instilling a love for the arts has truly made a profound impact on our students' lives.

We also want to give a big shoutout to all the amazing families who attended! Your presence made the event even more special, and we loved seeing the smiles and excitement on your faces as you cheered on our talented students. Thank you for being a part of this fantastic celebration of creativity and for supporting our budding artists. Your presence and support mean the world to us!

We are delighted to share the incredible success of our recent mural dedication event, where our students showcased their exceptional artistic talents. The mural, co-designed by our students, stands as a magnificent representation of our community's diversity and unity. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Mrs. Brayshaw for her guidance and to Art Reach for their invaluable support. The event was a celebration of collaboration, creativity, and the remarkable achievements of our students. We are immensely proud of their dedication and the joy they brought to this event. We invite you to visit our school and witness the awe-inspiring mural, a testament to the talent and spirit of our students.

RMS Drama invites you to our 2023 Spring Musical, Jump N' Jive Juliet! World War II may have just ended, but the emotional war between arch-enemies Mr. Montague and Mr. Capulet rages on. Their hatred for each other reaches an all-time high when they realize they have double-booked the venue for Montague's dance contest and Capulet's play rehearsal. However, when Montague's son, Ron, meets Capulet's daughter, Juliet, their feelings for each other are the opposite of hatred. Can the young couple team up to end the feud between their fathers, or will the history between their families end in tragedy? Come find out on Monday, May 22, at 7:00 pm. Admission is free. We look forward to seeing you there!
