Standard
Note from Administration:

We've made it through our first full week of school successfully and there's a lot on our minds. COVID continues to be part of our reality and creating anxieties. We continue to enforce masking rules and hope you are reiterating with your students the importance of masking properly.

As we go into the next week (Homecoming week) we will be able to celebrate some old traditions safely together. Please check the announcement below for day to day spirit celebrations. Friday will be our Homecoming Football game and Saturday will be our Homecoming Dance (limited tickets available).

All these wonderful high school traditions will only be possible if we continue to mask successfully and keep everyone as safe and healthy as we can.

Please continue to send students with masks and ensure they are checking for symptoms before coming in to school. If your student is experiencing symptoms, please keep them home and get them tested. We will all do better when we all do better. Thank you so much for your help in keeping our school community safe.

I look forward to the fun coming our way next week. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything - Christian.Ledesma@mpls.k12.mn.us.

The tournament welcomed 130 golfers and raised almost $10,000. The following people helped make that possible, please thank them if you should find yourself in their business. You can also find their websites on our FB page.

REPEATS
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!
