RCC Meeting Tuesday, January 8, 2013

The Roosevelt Community Council will meet on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 4:30 pm in Room 007, on the ground floor of the RHS building. The school is located at 3230 Hartford. Parking is on the Compton side of the building -- enter through the main entrance off Hartford (if the entrance off Compton is locked).

We are re-ordering the Roosevelt Breakfast Blend coffee, and there should be a fresh batch ready for purchase at LaMancha Coffeehouse on Wednesday of this week. Stop by and pick up a pound or two (whole bean or ground), and have a muffin and a cup of coffee at the same time. The price is $12.00 per pound plus sales tax, with all profits going to the Roosevelt Football Breakfasts. The coffee is a Brazilian single-origin and we have had favorable feed-back on the quality of the coffee.

LaMancha is located at 2815 North 14th Street, one half block north of the historic Crown Candy Kitchen (N. 14th Street and St. Louis Avenue), and offered to sponsor this fund-raiser for Roosevelt. http://www.lamanchacoffeehouse.com/

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:

First Football Breakfast of 2015

About 85% of the students at Roosevelt are eligible for the school's free or reduced price meal program during the school week, but there are no such meals on Saturdays. The RCC began supporting the breakfasts about 8 years ago , when Mr. Terry Houston, then principal, asked us to provide volunteers for the breakfasts. The breakfasts were his idea: they are a way to both support the team and connect the community to the school. The volunteers help set up, help serve, and clean up after the breakfasts. Currently, the RCC raises the funds for the breakfasts, hires the caterer to provide the food, and recruits the volunteers. We held a fundraiser in May at Riley's Irish Pub in Tower Grove East to raise funds for the breakfasts. The balance of the funds comes from donations. The caterer is Euylan Welch of WelchOne Catering. We al...
