I taught for 12 years, an assistant principal for 6 years, and a elementary principal for 20 years. I was honored to work at Roosevelt from 1996 - 2002. I feel very fortunate in returning to serve on Roosevelt’s Board. I retired in 2018 and currently work as a staff developer and consultant for AVID.

RCA is a part of Kids on Bikes and the Bike Library program for our older students. The students have enjoyed the Bike Library; however, many students who want to be part of this after-school program have no bike riding skills. All Kids Bike will allow us to teach our younger students how to ride so they can eventually be a part of the Bike Library. We are looking forward to growing a program that inspires a lifelong recreational activity.

If you are interested in daytime English classes for adults in June and July, you can still turn in the blue form next week before school ends on Wednesday.
