Principal Gutierrez's Message
A Month of Gratitude and Growth
Dear Roosevelt Community,
As we usher in the month of November, it's a pleasure to connect with you once again through our monthly newsletter. This month, we find ourselves surrounded by the warm hues of autumn, and with Thanksgiving just around the corner, it is an excellent opportunity to reflect on the many things we are grateful for.
At Roosevelt Elementary, our students, staff, and families are at the top of that list. Together, we have continued to navigate the challenges of these past months with resilience, adaptability, and a strong sense of unity. It is through this collective effort that we have created a safe and nurturing learning environment for our students.
In the spirit of gratitude, please check out the "Upcoming Events" section of this newsletter to learn about the exciting activities lined up this month.
