Make sure to tell friends around your neighborhood about this event, and I am sure I will see some of you tonight. Spring Fling is on Friday. If you haven't experienced this event, you really should try to attend. It is a night where all of us can celebrate the art of our children, as well as spend time getting to know new families. The funds donated this evening directly impact everything we do at Roosevelt, from the art program, library program, music program, Wacky Wednesdays, athletic programs, recess games, classroom instruction, technology and so much more. Truly, your kids receive the education and opportunities at Roosevelt because of the generous giving during this event. Plus, the view from the Stueckle Center is breathtaking, the food delightful and laughter plentiful. I hope to see you there. A SPECIAL THANKS to all of the people who coordinate this event. It is a huge undertaking, so thank you!
