Seeking Funds and Volunteers for 2012 Football Breakfasts

The RCC is once again seeking funds and volunteers to provide breakfast to the RHS Football Team on Saturday mornings before the team's Saturday afternoon games. This tradition was started by former Principal Terry Houston as part of the school's turn-around effort, and is much appreciated by the team.

The RHS Football Team has five Saturday afternoon games scheduled this year - first game is Saturday, August 25th.

So far, we have commitments from three churches to provide volunteers for the 2012 breakfasts --- two more dates are open right now:

August 25th - New City Fellowship
September 1st
September 15th - Covenant Presbyterian Church
September 22nd - South City Church
October 20th

Ten to twelve volunteers are needed for each breakfast. Volunteers should expect to arrive at about 8:45 am and should be finished by 10:15 am or thereabouts.  The volunteers help the caterer bring the food and equipment into the school building, set up for the breakfast, help serve the food to the team and coaches, clean up after the meal, and help the caterer move items back to his vehicle.

Our caterer this year will be Euylan Welch of WelchOne Catering, the same caterer as last year. 

If you would like to donate funds to support the breakfasts, volunteer, or have questions, please contact:  Norah Ryan, 314-241-9994 (daytime #) or email norah.ryan@att.net.  Donations to support the breakfasts are tax deductible as a charitable donation and should be made payable to the SLPS Foundation. Contact Norah for more information and a mailing address for the Foundation.

Here are some photos from the Fall 2011 Football Breakfasts:

We appreciate all of the support we have received for this project in the past, and would love to have your support, either financial or as a volunteer, this year !!!!

Roosevelt 100th Anniversary event - Sunday, January 26, 2025

The Roosevelt Community Council and the Roosevelt HS Alumni Association will be holding a Centennial event on Sunday, January 26, 2025, at Roosevelt High School, 3230 Hartford St., St. Louis MO  63118. Building tours at noon and a program at 1:00 pm. This is the actual 100th anniversary of the day the Roosevelt building first opened for students. An event is also being planned for the fall of 2025, to coincide with Homecoming, and we would welcome alumni of any year to join us to plan for this centennial year. 

Change in Homecoming Game, Sept. 20, 2025 - vs. St. Pius X (Festus)

We received an update from the Athletic Director at Roosevelt re a change in the Sept. 20th Homecoming football game:  Due to tornado damage from the May 16th tornado, there has been a change in Roosevelt's Homecoming Game on September 20, 2025. The team will play St. Pius X High School (Festus) instead of Soldan High School.  The reason for this is that S oldan's students are moving to GatewaySTEM to attend classes this fall and their athletes will be participating with Gateway's students. Sumner's students will be attending classes at Miller Career Academy and participating in sports with them as well. This left us without an opponent for our celebration. I put out an all-points-bulletin to the area athletic director's for a "hail mary" in an effort to find an opponent to fill the opening in our schedule. I am happy to announce that St. Pius X (Festus) will be our opponent for our game on 9/20. Here's the updated game schedule:
