The Roosevelt Community Council will meet at the school on Tuesday, September 10th, 2013, at 4:30 pm at the school. Here are some photos from touring the building on August 13, 2013. Photos courtesy of Jim Bennett, Roosevelt Alumni Association. Jim reports as follows about the renovations: Attached  a few pictures of renovated areas. The floors have new vinyl, walls new paint, stairs repaired and the front stone steps repaired with restored banisters, interior stairs and banisters have been repaired. Windows have been replaced. We did not see the library but it saw a major change fifteen years ago. Last renovation to the building was over ten million dollars. Original cost for the building in 1923 was about $250,000. Those were depression dollars when brick layers were paid one cent a brick.

All - A reminder that the Roosevelt Community Council will meet on Tuesday, August 13th at the school at 4:30 pm. We plan to tour the completed construction at the school and then have a short meeting. Gather in the main hall outside Ms. Gale's office at 4:30 please.   I'm attaching a copy of the district's volunteer background screening forms, which we will be using this year for council members. They only take a few minutes to complete. All of the forms are to be returned to the Volunteer Services office downtown (can be faxed) and there is no fee.   We will distribute an update on the fund-raising for the football breakfasts at the meeting.

Tomorrow's meeting will be at 4:30 pm at the Salvation Army, 2740 Arsenal, about 4 blocks east of Gravois.
