Roosevelt Community Council, St. Louis, MO

Principal Henning gave a group of 1960s alumni a tour of the school and of the school's weight room with its new equipment on Saturday, August 19, 2017. The mural is located outside of the weight room; the plaque will be posted in the room. We are really grateful for the donation of funds for the weight room equipment. Students have been making good use of the room for several months now.

We came across these in the last few days. Worth reading. The Sound of Inclusion: Why Teachers' Words Matter “People Helped You, Whether You Knew It Or Not”

The RCC's next meeting will be Tuesday, September 5th, 2017 at 4:30 pm in Room 102 at Roosevelt, 3230 Hartford Street. Parking is on the east side of the school on the parking lot off Compton, enter the building through the main front doors off Hartford and go through security. Room 102 is right near the entrance, a few doors to the left. Room 102 is the new home of the RHS alumni memorabilia collection, and has a lot of interesting photos and items from the opening of the school in 1925-26 forward. Here's a photo from our first Football Breakfast, which was on Saturday, August 19th, 2017. Volunteers from the neighborhood and from Roosevelt's Marine Corps Junior ROTC are on the right, football players on the left. We are so grateful to the volunteers who assist with this program. This breakfast was extra early because the team's first game was at 11 am (against Lutheran South - season schedule is in an earlier post). Photo credit:  Lynn Maitz, neighborhood volun
