Roosevelt PTA subsidizes programs & projects
to ensure our kids have the best education possible
STEM LAB
Through STEM education, students learn to become problem solvers, innovators, creators, and collaborators and go on to fill the critical pipeline of engineers, scientists, and innovators so essential to the future of California and the nation.
STEM education inspires and prepares all of its students to seize the opportunities of the global society through innovation, inquiry, collaboration, and creative problem solving.
music
Music education improves and develops language skills in children. Music stimulates the brain, and with its varied sounds and lyrics, students are exposed to a large amount of vocabulary in a short amount of time.
​
Especially in young children, music directly benefits the ability to learn words, speak them correctly, and process the many new sounds they hear from others.
ART
Creativity and appreciation for the arts are important for all students to have a well-rounded education that exposes them to new ideas and perspectives.
Arts education boosts school attendance, academic achievement, and college attendance rates; improves school climate; and promotes higher self-esteem and social-emotional development.
Assemblies
Assemblies are a great way to motivate students to dig into learning, engage students in appealing ways outside of their normal routine, create opportunities for students to step outside of their comfort zone, provide new experiences not found inside the classroom, and give students access to cutting-edge technology. Providing ways for kids to learn differently can improve passion and confidence in learning.
Field
trips
Field trips play an important role in social-emotional development. They allow students to collaborate with their peers, explore new environments, make connections, problem solve, develop trust, and empathy.
Youth who take educational trips can have better grades because the trips made them more engaged and intellectually curious. With culturally enriching field trips, students can make connections to other educational fields, gain first-hand experiences, and understand concepts on a deeper level.
