Roosa Staff Spotlight - Mr. Peters, Music Teacher - Music gave me a reason to want to go to school. Because I was interested in band I needed to keep my grades up and put in a lot of effort to stay eligible while also working hard on my instrument. If I ever lost sight of that I had teachers there to remind me and encourage me to do better and be better. Looking back, I would not be where I am today without those teachers and I want to pay that forward with my students now. #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Roosa Staff Spotlight - Miss Brewer, Speech Pathologist - This is my 5th year but first with CPS! I was concerned about transitioning to CPS during this particular school year but my coworkers have made me feel right at home! I am so impressed by the incredible community support both with supplies and snacks! When not at school, I am active with my church, hike with friends, or read in my hammock. My favorite book from my childhood is "Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles." #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Staff Spotlight - Mrs. LaValley - I am newly married to my husband, JD! I am a Roosa alumnus and graduated from CHS. One of the best parts of being a teacher is not what I teach them, but what they teach me every single day. Our students are the most resilient, kind, and patient children I know. Seeing their faces light up with joy when they finally grasp a concept they have been working on is the most amazing feeling. #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
