Dear Roosevelt Families,

Public Schools Week is February 24-28, 2025, which is the perfect time to celebrate! We are so proud of the teachers and staff at Roosevelt and the work they do every single day to educate our Raccoons.

Here in Mankato Area Public Schools, there is so much to celebrate. From innovative learning opportunities that spark curiosity to successful teams and clubs that build leadership skills, our schools are filled with moments of pride that show up on the faces of our kids.

Public schools are strongest when they are supported by the communities they serve, and we are fortunate to have families like yours who care deeply about education. Your involvement—whether helping with homework, attending school events, or cheering on our students—makes a big difference.

Thank you for everything you do that supports your student(s) and the greater school community.
Sincerely,
Michelle Kruize, Principal
