Summary: Daily news bulletin about what's happening at Roosevelt

Thursday, September 26th, 2024

General Announcements:

The Homecoming Assembly will be tomorrow at 9:45am.

Roosevelt Volleyball’s Dig Pink Night is next Wednesday, October 2rd! This special tradition, held by volleyball teams nationwide, raises money for cancer research. At Roosevelt, it’s even more meaningful as we dedicate it to one of our own. RHS Volleyball raises funds for the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center in honor (and in the name) of junior and JV volleyball player Kolbi Sievers. Kolbi was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 7th grade, and after many rounds of chemotherapy, we’re thrilled to celebrate her being cancer-free and in remission for 3 years.

Event Details:

Start Time: The event kicks off at 5:30 PM during the sub-varsity matches and continues through the second set of the varsity match, which starts at 7 PM.

Event Highlights: Dig Pink Night will feature a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle, and lots of pink!

Proceeds: All proceeds from the event, including shirt sales and auction/raffle earnings, will go to Fred Hutch. If you can’t make it in person, you can donate directly to Fred Hutch; it all goes to the same Dig Pink collection pool! http://engage.fredhutch.org/goto/Dig-Pink

Last year we raised over $5,000 in one night! We want to. continue to grow that number! We hope you’ll join us for an evening of volleyball, fundraising, and community spirit as we come together to make a difference in the fight against cancer.

Hey Riders! Check out the Green and Gold exchange student store, open every day after school except Fridays and we will be open during curriculum night too. You can explore our delicious snacks and drinks while checking out our newest item- green and gold overalls- just in time for spirit week. See you there!

Homecoming spirit week is this week and the theme is the Wizard of Oz:

Thursday: We’re not in Kansas anymore – country day

Friday: Emerald City down the Yellow Brick Road – Green & Gold day!

Hey Riders! Beginning Today, look out for Dorothy’s red slippers hidden around the school. Students who find the slippers win spirit points for their grade, note the slippers must have your name written on the back. Slipper finders also have the chance to PIE A TEACHER at the Homecoming Assembly if they are drawn from spirit boxes.

SPIRIT POINTS are back at RHS! Riders will have the opportunity to win a grade-wide pizza party when they submit spirit items to their grade boxes outside the ASR room. Students can also DM @rhs_asr on Instagram with pictures of them on theme this spirit week to win.

Homecoming tickets are on sale from the concession stand at lunch and on-line. Ticket prices are $40 (ASB) or $45 (no ASB).
