RPS students are excited that spring is finally here! They continue to balance their study time with play time and look forward to the outside games that they play on the school field during recess every day; kickball is still a school favorite, but soccer is catching up. The new playground equipment is getting a lot of use and everyone loves when Mr. Kaufman puts up the tether ball! The Spelling Bee, Talent Show, Spring Concert and Art Show are coming up and the community is always invited to attend.
I ordered tables and benches for our playground because RPS is one of the few schools that I have seen where so many parents and grandparents pick up their children after school; I want our parents and grandparents to be able to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun while the children play. I know that watching my children play and chatting with other parents were highlights for me when my own children were in elementary school!
Springtime has brought some of the annual events that the community looks forward to—the PTA sponsored carnival was great fun for grownups and children alike; and new events that may become traditions—the Roosevelt Foundation will host its first pasta dinner where families and teachers will share a meal together. RPS sponsored a Family Math Night facilitated by a presenter from the University of Pennsylvania; it was well attended and parents and children learned math strategies while enjoying pizza provided by our Board of Education.
I would like to remind everyone that our graduation is on Saturday, June 10th, and it is the 80th anniversary of RPS. I am hoping that you will spread the word and that alumni from near and far will come back to school and share memories!
