Roosevelt students were front and center increasing our cultural awareness during our much-hyped Diversity Day. They certainly lived up to the hype and did not disappoint as you will see by watching the video.

March is a busy month here at Roosevelt School! We opened the month with the Harlem Wizards, and the following Monday (March 4th) we hosted one of our most special events of the year: Roosevelt’s Read Across America Day! It was awesome! Rather than you read about it here, why not just see for yourself! - Mr. Fierra

Congratulations to today's Tiger Bucks winners at Roosevelt School! Great job everyone!
The “Play was the Thing” at Roosevelt School during our 3rd Annual Theater Week celebration. Over 150 students participated in this year’s show, which was a huge hit for student audiences (the show ran as an assembly during the day), as well as for parents and families (the show ran in the evening to a capacity crowd)! Talent!
Love was in the air on February 14th at Roosevelt School! Our Roosevelt students celebrated Valentine’s Day with delicious ice cream sundaes and plenty of fun games courtesy of our Roosevelt PTO and fantastic class moms!
The Winter Concert at Roosevelt School packed the house this year! The students did an amazing job and participated in full force with record numbers of students coming out for Chorus, Orchestra, and Band! Also Roosevelt’s own, Mrs. Celentano (AKA the Chorus Whisperer), reunites with members of the high school elite chorus who all had one thing in common: Not only did they all attend Roosevelt but they all had Mrs. Celentano in third grade!
Roosevelt’s Tiger Buck winners rejoice in the winner’s circle! While students in Ms. Soden’s and Ms. Ulloa’s classes got ready for their version of the Macy’s Day Parade, complete with their balloon floats!
Plenty of excitement happening at Roosevelt School! See information on our Kids Heart Challenge, Designer Bag Bingo Night, and The Harlem Wizards!
