Administration Update
As we wrap up the first quarter of this school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our many accomplishments. We are off to a great start this school year as we welcomed our largest freshman class in years. As many of you know, we launched the school year without a cafeteria or auditorium. The cafeteria project is complete and students have adjusted quite well to their new dining accommodations. And, yes, the auditorium is well on its way toward completion.
Some of our other events that have occurred so far include:
- We hosted our first Arts Crawl of the school year and it was a great success.
- We held our first All Star Breakfast of the school year a few weeks back.
- We retired two football numbers at our successful homecoming weekend.
- We have launched our school's first theater program in twenty years.
- Our girls' volleyball team hosted and won a post-season match.
- Our fall athletics teams have continued to grow as more and more students have opted to participate.
- And, of course, our school has continued to grow as more and more families have chosen to invest their children in our school.
I want to thank all of you who are a part of our Roosevelt community. I greatly appreciate your commitment to our school. We will continue to strive to ensure that your children receive test quality education we can provide.
Sincerely,
Michael Bradley
