Attention Junior Students & Parents:
We have received word from the district that the ACT Test at Roosevelt will be on April 28th! If you haven't already filled out the registration form, please fill it out by April 11th. This is your last chance to register for the free ACT at Roosevelt!

As a reminder, here the information we have at this point:
  • Students will be taking the test online in socially-distanced classrooms of no more than 12 students on-site at RHS, starting in the morning. 
  • You will be at the school testing for most of the day. 
  • If you indicate on the form linked below that you plan to take the April ACT, we will follow up with more details, including the online registration process and logistics for the day.
Please fill out this form to tell us whether or not you plan to take the ACT on April 28th 
 Submit your form by midnight on Sunday, April 11th

Would you like to help give scholarships to Roosevelt students and grants to staff without it costing you a penny? Do you ever shop at Amazon?  

Instead of going to amazon.com, go to smile.amazon.com. Register and select Minneapolis Theodore Roosevelt High School Foundation as your charity. Each time you shop at smile.amazon the Foundation will receive a small percentage of your purchase.

You just have to remember to go to smile.amazon.com instead of Amazon…..same merchandise, same prices, same service. Thank YOU!

20 hours of Service Per year is expected of every student, every year. 
Check out this site for volunteering opportunities..https://seniorcommunity.org/become-a-volunteer/
Donate Blood
Walk around for an hour in your neighborhood and pick up trash. Remember to wear gloves and BE CAREFUL.
Do a household chore that isn't expected.

Check out these websites to come up with another idea.
  1. https://www.volunteermatch.org/search?l=Minneapolis%2C+MN%2C+USA
(You can search by word, so if you are looking for an "art" based volunteering opportunity, or a "children" based opportunity, "senior citizen", etc.


If you have questions before that, please email Christol.Schultz@mpls.k12.mn.us.

If your student is doing their hours OUTSIDE of the school, please have them send in a paper that is signed, dated and phone number listed for the organization or person that they helped.
Looking for a way to get service hours at home? Freerice.com You will have to set up an account, your school email will work for that.

How does Freerice work?
As you play Freerice and answer questions right, advertisements appear on your screen. When you see one of these advertisements, you trigger a financial payment to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support its work saving and changing lives around the world.

In the game, these payments are represented via grains of rice. The amount of money generated when you see an advertisement can vary, but is roughly equivalent to what the World Food Programme spends to purchase 5 grains of rice.

There's a bunch of different categories and different languages, pick one that's fun for you!

Take a picture when you've earned 250 grains of rice and send it to Ms. Christol to get 1 hour of community service.
