Roosa Elementary

Coming up this Saturday, December 16 is Roosa's first annual PJs & Pancakes! Brought to you by Roosa's amazing PTO, you're invited to come hang out with friends and family in your coziest jammies, sip on the tastiest cocoa in the county, and partake in some super fun Christmas activities! Bonus: all proceeds go to benefit Roosa directly for field trips, playground upgrades, and teacher grants! These awesome kiddos bought their PJ's & Pancake tickets early & received their prizes! You do NOT have to purchase your tickets online, we will accept cash, check, & PayPal at the door! See you THIS Saturday (12/16) from 9am-11am. p.s. I hear the big guy in red is going to show is face! Be sure to say "hey," and grab a picture with the whole family!

Take a good look at these pictures and see what you notice. At first glance, you can tell that a group of boys are enjoying a cool, sunny day on the playground. . . but look closer. . .right there, right in the heart of it all, stands Mr. Burke, coaching, connecting, and yes, playing right along with them! #TeacheroftheYear #IntheClassroom #OnthePlayground #ProveIt #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

You all have worked so hard this weekend and it shows! We're knocking at the door for 1,000 cans and so excited to see which class is going to win! Thursday is the last day to donate, so until then, keem 'em coming!! #SharetheSpirit #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

There was more to day 2 than our breakfast-y fun, Surprises were lurking and prizes were won. Were you naughty or nice? The tree can decide. Is it coal, baubles, or treats? Punch through, what's inside? #2ndDayofChristmas #NaughtyorNice #RoosaFun #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Mann's group is still out in front for K-2nd, and Mrs. Kropp's class is reminding 3rd-5th that no one tops "The Queen!" But with one more week to go, it's anyone's guess who will win! As you're out and about this weekend, don't forget the corn and green beans! We're nearing the 1,000 mark, but are itching to see by just how much we'll surpass that!! Thank you for the donations so far, and let's finish our drive strong! #LetsGoROOSA #ShareTheSpirit #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

On the second day of Christmas, On Call Pediatricics joined the fun... Coffee and bagels brought for everyone!!! What a great bonus surprise for the day, with more fun to come! Thanks for breakfast, On Call Pediatrics, we appreciate you! #ThankYouONCALL #BreakfastTime #12DaysofChristmas #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

On the first day of Christmas, my admin gave to me... Whoville and a pancake party!!! Talk about a sweet way to count down to Christmas! #Roosas12DaysofChristmas #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Caught you reading!!! "There are many little ways to enlarge your world. Love of books is the best of all." ~Jacqueline Kennedy #TodayAReader #TomorrowALeader #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

To show grit, one must have courage and resolve while displaying a true strength of character. The Elks Lodge Hoop Shoot has been encouraging and unleashing that grit for over 50 years and recently, some Roosa students showed up and showed their grit! Our friends, Thomas and Lilly, spent their Saturday morning shooting free throws against students from schools all around us. Showing focus and determination, Lilly walked away with 3rd place in the girls, 10-11 division, and Thomas came away with 1st place for boys 8-9! In January, Thomas will be representing both Roosa and the Claremore Elks Lodge in Coweta and we'll be cheering him along the way! To all who tried out, keep up the hard work, we are so proud of you! #HoopShoot #RoosaGrit #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Who's got the best PTO around? That's right! WE DO!!! One of the amazing prizes up for auction at our Fall Carnival was to have a book read by the one and only Tess Maune of News on 6! Today she visited Mrs. Mann's class on behalf of the prizewinner, the lovely Miss Kora, and read about how Pout Pout Fish learned that the biggest, brightest, perfectest gifts come from the heart! They had the most meaning, gave the most delight, and even had a bit of bling-zing! Thank you so much for coming today and creating memories with our students! #AlwaysFindYourBlingZing #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our first week of donations has started off strong! 530 cans is huge, give yourselves a pat on the back! For K-2nd, Mrs. Mann's class is leading the pack, and for 3rd-5th, Mrs. Kropp's is out in front! Last year we were able to donate over 5,000 cans all because of your help - let's see if we can beat that this year! We still have the rest of this week, allllll the way through next Thursday, Dec. 14th, we've got this!! Let's go Roosa!! #CornandGreenBeans #ShareTheSpirit #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Roosa students know that the best way to start your day is with positive affirmations, lots of smiles, and some sweet dance moves! Happy friday, everyone! ***BONUS*** Be sure to ask your kiddos if they remember any of the fun and fancy ways Mrs. Hostler taught them to say "Merry Christmas!" #TodayisGoingtobe #AnAMAZINGday #MeleKalikimaka #RoosaRiseandShine #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Claremore's annual Christmas parade is coming soon! We can't wait to see the town lining Will Rogers Blvd on Saturday, December 9th at 6:00pm, to enjoy the twinkling lights, magical Christmas melodies, and general merriment, but don't forget our favorite part: our very own Roosa Royalty! Due to the large number of students who were caught displaying great character, it was decided that instead of one boy and one girl representing the whole school - we would nominate a boy and girl from each grade! The nominations are in and drawings have been completed!! I present to you the upstanding students representing Roosa this year! Great job to all! #RoosaRoyalty #ChristmasParade2023 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We hope that you're not sleeping, We hope that you're awake, Today's the day for goodness sake! Our K-2nd graders are itching to take the stage and put the holiday spirit in high gear! We hope to see you today, Thuraday, November 30th, at the Robson PAC at 1pm and 6pm! #RoosaFamilyChristmas2023 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Curtains are up at 1:00pm and 6:00pm at the Robson PAC! We ho ho hope to see you all there! #RoosaFamilyChristmas #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Second grade, second grade, WHOOOO do you see? "I see a barn owl looking at ME!" A few very knowledgeable friends from the Tulsa Zoo stopped by and spent some time with second grade. Students were absolutely captivated by the lessons on animal coats and camouflaging, but the real thrill was when their little barn owl friend made an appearance! Thanks for stopping by, guys! hooooo Hoooooooo Whoooooooooo loves the zoo? WE DO!!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Roosa, the holiday season is upon us, and we need your help! For the second year in a row, we have teamed up with Share the Spirit here in Rogers County to help serve our community. Here's where we need you: between today and December 16th, we need you to bring canned corn and green beans. Cans will be collected and tallied daily, and the winners will be announced at Rise and Shine, December 17th. The top classes from PreK-2nd and from 3rd-5th will earn an ice cream sandwich party and extra recess!! #SharetheSpirit #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We are so very thankful for our SROs! School Resource Officers are so valuable and, while we don't like to play favorites, we know that Roosa's got the best one out there! In addition to traditional, expected officer duties, resource officers help to accquaint students who might be unfamiliar to the police in our community. By being present, Officer Hagen shows how helpful and appoachable our men and women in uniform really are, which can ease a lot of young minds! What better way to show approachability than helping to make snowflakes for the front office! Thanks for all you do, officers! #MayYourDaysBe #MerryandBright #RoosalovesourSRO #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
