About Us
About the PTO
Who we are
The Roosevelt PTO is a 501(c)3 organization run primarily by caregiver volunteers, in partnership with our principal and school staff, in accordance with the Roosevelt Elementary School PTO Bylaws. All Roosevelt parents, caregivers, educators, and school staff are members of the PTO and welcome and encouraged to participate in the PTO to any degree they are able.
What we do
Our primary mission is to support the educational experience of the Roosevelt students and to organize events that enrich our school community. We achieve this mission through various fundraisers throughout the school year.

Budget
The PTO Treasurers worked hard to prepare a budget for the upcoming school year. It includes funding to continue well-loved Rosie traditions like the school musical and the upcoming Harvest Festival, the ability to implement new school/community initiatives, providing our amazing teachers and staff stipends for classroom supply purchase reimbursements, and a Rosie PTO parent/caregiver night out. The Budget was approved at the first PTO Meeting of the school year. If you have any questions or concerns about the budget, please email PTORosieTreasurer@gmail.com.
Here is what the PTO has already paid for this year:
- Woo-Hoo/Boo-Hoo table with refreshments to welcome families and start off the new school year.
- Welcome Back to School Luncheon for staff (e.g., sandwiches, drinks, desserts, and other snacks).
- One time donation of books to the third grade reciprocal learning program (i.e. book club).
- Renewed the Newsela subscription, a news reading program that’s built for students to work on literacy skills and is a teacher favorite at Rosie
On the income side:
- Over the summer we continued to receive monthly income from Bay State Textiles (recycling bins outside the school) – a great way to donate/recycle old clothing AND raise money for the school.
