Principal's Message:
Good afternoon, Teddy families,
This week we continued our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration with a special event today that included a Quinces Fashion Show, a Staff v. Student soccer game, and a special dance performance by our students. We will soon have photos up on social media.
This week also offered a lot of opportunities for growth in our students in our values of being Respectful, Honorable, and Safe. We saw many examples of maturity in students working through difficult situations, engaging in restorative conversations, and helping out students in need.
This work can be hard but our students have shown they are able to engage in the difficult work of creating a caring climate.
Thank you all for your hard work this week. Have a restful weekend,
Principal Ledesma

Buenas tardes, familias Teddy,
Esta semana continuamos nuestra celebración del Mes de la Herencia Hispana con un evento especial hoy que incluyó un Desfile de Moda de Quinces, un juego de fútbol estudiantes v personal, y un espectáculo de baile especial por parte de nuestros estudiantes. Pronto tendremos fotos en las redes sociales.
Esta semana también ofreció muchas oportunidades de crecimiento en nuestros estudiantes en nuestros valores de ser respetuosos, honorables y seguros. Vimos muchos ejemplos de madurez en estudiantes que trabajan en situaciones difíciles, participaron en conversaciones restaurativas y ayudaron a los estudiantes necesitados.
Este trabajo puede ser difícil, pero nuestros estudiantes han demostrado que son capaces de participar en el trabajo - algunas veces dificil - de crear un clima de cuidado.
Gracias a todos por su arduo trabajo esta semana. Que tengan un fin de semana de descanso,
Director Ledesma

Ciyaarta kubadda cagta ee ardayda, iyo ciyaar qoob ka ciyaar gaar ah oo ay sameeyeen ardaydeena. Dhawaan ayaan sawirro ka heli doonnaa baraha bulshada.
Toddobaadkan ayaa sidoo kale soo bandhigay fursado badan oo kobcinta ardayda ee qiyamkayaga ah in la ixtiraamo, sharafta leh, iyo Ammaan ah. Waxaan aragnay tusaalooyin badan oo ku saabsan biseylka ardayda oo ka shaqeeya xaalado adag, oo ka wadahadlaya sheekooyin dib u soo celin ah, iyo caawinta ardayda u baahan.
Shaqadani waxay noqon kartaa mid adag laakiin ardaydeena ayaa muujiyay inay awood u leeyihiin inay galaan shaqada adag ee abuurista jawiga daryeelka.
Waad ku wada mahadsantihiin dhammaantiin shaqada adag ee aad toddobaadkan qabateen. Yeelo weekend nasasho,

Instead of going to amazon.com, go to smile.amazon.com. Register and select Minneapolis Theodore Roosevelt High School Foundation as your charity. Each time you shop at smile.amazon the Foundation will receive a small percentage of your purchase.
By doing this you are helping give scholarships to Roosevelt students and grants to staff without it costing you a penny?
You just have to remember to go to smile.amazon.com instead of Amazon…..same merchandise, same prices, same service. Thank YOU!
