Art Festival
We are so excited about our Art Festival. It is going to take place on March 8th from 5pm-7pm. All artworks will be displayed on the hallways. There will be three award winners for each grade level. However, the fun doesn’t stop there. At 5pm Art battle will take place. Scholars from 3rd – 5th grade can participate. They will have 20min to finish a landscape in front of the audience, using their own art supplies. We will provide the paper only. The number is limited, 30 scholars can participate only. It will be first come first serve. Parents need to send an email to Mr. Philabaum and Mrs. Jaha, to register their child for participation. We will have a local celebrity Artist to be the judge and announce the winner. We are accepting registration emails until March 3rd.
Scholars can use any supplies of their choice, such as crayons, watercolors, pastels, oil pastels, pencil, markers etc.
Please contact Ms. Jaha if you have any questions.

Dear families,
I hope everyone is doing well. Every year we ask parents for feedback on their academy and Great Hearts as a whole. We hope you will take the time to fill out this year’s survey. It should only take a few minutes and we very much want to hear your perspective.
You can access the survey via this link, or the QR code below:

|
Please take a few minutes to tell us about your experiences at Great Hearts Roosevelt. Your feedback affirms what we do well and tells us what we need to do better.
The survey will remain open until midnight on Tuesday 7 March.
Brandon Crowe,
Superintendent

Esperamos que se tomen el tiempo para completar la encuesta de este año. Sólo debe tomar unos minutos, y queremos escuchar su perspectiva.

Uniform Expectations: Jewelry, Makeup, Sweaters, and Jackets
We know there are many aspects to our dress code and uniform. Though our expectation is that the entirety of the uniform is adhered to, we want to give some special emphasis to particular areas of our expectations weekly so we can deep dive into any questions you may have. This week, we ask that all families especially take a close look at our policy on student shoes and socks. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to Mary Pim, our Dean of Students. Below is a quote from the Family Handbook (p. 43).

Parent Volunteer Opportunities
As part of the Great Hearts Roosevelt family, every single one of you are members of the PSO! There will be many opportunities throughout the year to offer your time and talent to the community.
If you are interesting in volunteering and supporting our school on campus in any way, all families must submit their application through our secure "Raptor" system. The link to this can be found here: https://www.greatheartsamerica.org/volunteer/. This applies even to families who already have a fingerprint clearance card.
Raptor Clearance is a quick and easy background check that takes only a few minutes and costs $5. You will know within a few days if it has been approved.
If you would like information on our PSO, aspects of available volunteer options or to just add your name to our volunteer interest list please email our PSO President at PSOpresident@greatheartsroosevelt.org.

Register for Athenaeum, the Great Hearts After School Program
After-School Athenaeum is focused on the liberal arts and promotes learning by providing students dedicated homework time in addition to a diverse array of culturally enriching, academically oriented activities beyond the classroom. Our activities and lessons are aimed at improving students’ scholastic performance by reinforcing the lessons, virtues and curriculum of the classroom.
But it’s not all academics! Athenaeum scholars also enjoy time for recreation, games, socializing and just plain fun. Athenaeum runs daily from the dismissal bell (even on early release and half-days) until 6:00 p.m. Flexible and affordable options are available to fit any family’s after-school needs.
