Roosevelt Early Childhood Center: Celebrations

The Spring Fling on Tuesday, May 19th, drew 907 participants. The evening included: Llamas, a giant parachute, face painting, bike rodeo, music and more, which created an atmosphere of fun and laughter for parents and their young children at Roosevelt Early Childhood Center on Tuesday, May 19. Over 90 volunteers (staff, parents, Boys & Girls Club members, etc.) helped to make this a successful event, reaching out to our District’s youngest learners. With 373 parents and 444 children, ages birth to 5, playing games together and blowing bubbles across the playground, the laughter may have been heard across town. The highlight of this event for many children is the free book they received. With the help of Roosevelt’s Involved Parents Team and other community donations, they were able to give away over 1,200 books this school year. Just one more way we are helping the young learners of District 742 get ready for kindergarten!
