Looking Ahead!
Author Visit

We are excited to announce that author Nadia Khan will be coming to our school for an interactive author talk and reading program in March! Students will have the chance to meet a real author, hear her read from her books, and learn about the writing process. More information will be shared as we get closer to the event!

Nadia Khan is the author of the Zoey Wonders Why series, which includes the middle‑grade novel Zoey Wonders Why and the Great Catastrophe and the picture book Zoey Wonders Why. Her stories highlight themes of curiosity, empathy, and cultural understanding—ideas that inspire students to ask questions, think deeply, and appreciate the diverse world around them.


Looking Ahead! 
Read-A-Thon


Roosevelt School 7 will participate in a schoolwide Read-a-thon in order to promote daily reading and help raise money for author's day and reading rewards. The Read-a-thon will be during the month of March and will be a virtual event.  Students will receive a Read-a-thon handout and registration information on March 2nd.  Teachers will also receive a signup form, so they can monitor students' reading goals and how many minutes they are reading daily.  Please encourage ALL students to register and get at least one donation.  Thank you for your support!

Congratulations to Our
December Citizens of the Month!
🎉
 đźŹ†

We are proud to celebrate our students who demonstrated outstanding Responsibility throughout the month of December. These remarkable Citizens of the Month consistently showed reliability, made thoughtful choices, took ownership of their actions, and treated others and our school community with care and respect.

Your commitment to doing what’s right, even when no one is watching, helps make our school a safe, positive, and welcoming place for everyone. You truly embody the 6 Pillars of Character, and we are grateful for the example you set each day.

Keep shining, keep leading, and keep showing what Responsibility looks like in action. Our school is better because of you!

đź§Ą Take One Leave One Coat Drive

We’re proud to share that our school is once again participating in the Take One Leave One initiative!

This is a simple and meaningful way to support our community during the colder months. A clothing rack will be placed outside the school during school hours, offering free winter coats to anyone who needs one. Additionally, a box will be added for hats and gloves.
If you have a gently used coat to donate, we’d love for you to add it to the rack!

How it works: 
Take One if you need a coat.
Leave One if you have a coat to give.

Attendance Matters!

Being at school every day is important for your child’s success. Regular attendance helps students build strong skills, stay connected with classmates, and make the most of their learning opportunities.

Please make sure your child arrives on time and attends school every day unless they are truly ill. Together, we can help every student reach their full potential!
