We are proud to host our 4th Annual Mental Health Assembly this Friday, January 30th. This dedicated day provides our students with the space to explore healthy coping skills through Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) centers and hands-on wellness stations, including Zumba, mindfulness sessions, sketching, and more.

Special Activity for Our Colts

As part of this programming, students will participate in a "Mindfulness Through the 5 Senses" activity. This session helps students practice self-regulation and focus by engaging their senses in developmentally appropriate ways.

• The Taste Station: Students will be offered a small piece of Starburst candy to practice "mindful eating"—slowing down to notice flavor and texture.

• Opt-Out Information: Participation in the Taste Station is optional. If you do not want your child to participate in the tasting portion of this activity, please notify the Roosevelt School Main Office (908)-231-8500 Ext. 8613 by Thursday, January 29th.

This Friday afternoon, January 30th, our 3rd grade students will be participating in our 4th Annual Great Paper Airplane Contest! Each class will compete to find a classroom winner, followed by an overall 3rd-grade champion! This event is a collaboration between STEM and ART! Thank you to Mrs. Lavy and Mrs. Ohlson for providing out Colts with this fun experience!

Who Makes Your Day Brighter at Roosevelt School? Every day, our staff works tirelessly to live out our mission: Every Child! Every Day! But we know that some of the most impactful moments happen in the small interactions—the way a teacher encourages a student or how an office worker makes a family feel welcome. We want to hear from you! Please take a moment to nominate a staff member for the January 2026 Staff Member of the Month. Whether it’s a teacher, aide, or member of our support staff, tell us how they’ve gone "above and beyond" for our school community.

Please save the date for our Roosevelt Winter Social on Friday, February 13th, 2026!

Permission slips will be sent out this week!
