RCC Meeting Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 3:30pm at Five Star Senior Center

The RCC will meet at the Five Star Senior Center, 2832 Arsenal St., on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 (first Tuesday), at 3:30 pm. There is parking immediately across the street to the north, on the Kutis lot. We thank Five Star for allow us to use their board room for our meeting. Our July 1st and August 5th RCC meetings will also be at Five Star.

Please put our Football Breakfast Fundraiser on your calendar for Saturday, August 23, noon to 5, at Riley's Pub at the corner of Arsenal and Arkansas. We need help that day for set up, grilling, sales and with raffle items, so if you can spare an hour or a few to assist, that would be most appreciated. We also need raffle items, gift cards and the like (Bill Gilbert, our biggest fundraiser/organizer is no longer with us). We can provide an official charitable donation acknowledgement letter if needed.

Finally, our new caterer for the Football Breakfasts will handle things a little bit differently, and we are going to need a few volunteers to help serve each of the breakfasts. We would like to have all volunteers screened through the district's process, so please contact me if you can help with that and I will get you the info for the screening. The first football game (and breakfast) is Saturday, August 30th.

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:
