Greetings Roosevelt Students and Families,

Welcome back for the 2022-2023 school year! I hope all students and families had an enjoyable summer break. Be the voice of kindness and positivity this year. Make the most of this school year, by staying focused, being prepared, and giving it your all. Take charge of your happiness, surround yourself with wisdom, and move ahead with determination. It's going to be a great year. Feel free to reach out to me if any assistance is needed. My contact information is below. I have also provided community resources, if needed.
