The RCC will meet on Tuesday, March 3rd (1st Tuesday) at 4:30 pm in Room 102 at the school. Link to our website's updated mission statement:   http://rooseveltcommunitycouncil.blogspot.com/p/our-mission.html

Agenda topics for Tuesday will include plans for a tour of the historic Roosevelt building at 5 pm on March 12, prior to the district's "visioning" workshop that will be held at Roosevelt at 6 pm. Here's a link to info about the visioning sessions: https://www.slps.org/Page/46000  The district is asking that participants in the workshops register (at the link above), as childcare is being offered as well as refreshments. Roosevelt is not on the list of low-enrollment schools, by the way, but others in the area are.

(Print edition of the story this morning has school names on the map.) 

Also, we will probably try to wrap up quickly at the March 3 meeting so that those who are interested in the Tower Grove East traffic study can attend the meeting at Stray Dog Theatre about the study.  https://www.facebook.com/events/618372732064718/

By
Reminder that our once-a-year fundraiser for the Roosevelt Football Breakfasts is this Saturday, 1-5 pm at Riley's Irish Pub at the SE corner of Arsenal & Arkansas. It turns out that we have a number of very nice raffle items as well as brats, hotdogs, potato salad, fruit, and drinks for purchase. (We miss Bill Gilbert but many of the items have been donated with him in mind.) If you plan to come and help, we will be setting up starting at noon, and will be wrapping up, pulling raffle item winning tickets, and cleaning up starting at about 5 or so. Let us know if you can help if you haven't already let us know. The cell # for questions is 314-241-9994.

First Football Breakfast of 2015

By Norah
"Football Breakfasts" means providing breakfast for the Roosevelt High School football team before its Saturday home JV and Varsity games. 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...

Update on 2025 Roosevelt High School Football Breakfasts from the Roosevelt Community Council

By
Roosevelt High School’s 2025 11-Man Football season was cancelled mid-way through the season after the team’s Homecoming game on September 20, 2025. That game was rained out at half time, due to a thunder storm. As reported by the school’s Athletic Director, the team had suffered some prior injuries and also the loss of some upper class team members, and the school felt that it was unsafe to continue the season with the remaining team members, many of whom were younger and smaller players.  The Roosevelt Community Council raised funds in 2025 to provide breakfast to the team before its Saturday games. Usually, this involves feeding 40 to 50 team members and a few coaches for each breakfast. Sometimes, members of the cheerleading team are also present and invited to have breakfast as well.  This is an activity we have supported for a number of years, and it has also been supported by several nearby neighborhood associations and a number of businesses, as well as the public, at ...
