WORDS MATTER!
🌟 Exciting First Day Alert! 🎒✨ Roosa Elementary PTO made the walkway to the front doors extra special today! 💬 Messages with the words that matter most were created to welcome our students back with cuteness and fun vibes! 📚🚌 Let’s make this year amazing together! 🌈👩🏫 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #okfirstday











One of our favorite back-to-school events is Rogers State University Athletes welcoming our elementary students!❤
Their presence during the back-to-school welcome ignites a spark of inspiration and pride in the hearts of our elementary students!
Witnessing these role models up close fosters a belief that they too can achieve their dreams and excel! A warm welcome from local sports heroes! 💙🦓📚

Make this moment a memory!
☀On August 17th, while many of us are still in bed, the Class of 2024 will gather at Lantow Field at 6:20AM to watch the sunrise. It is a way to symbolize the class of seniors starting their last year together. It is the "first" of many "last" events they will share this year. At the end of the year, they will share their final sunset during their graduation ceremony on Lantow Field. 🍩Donuts and drinks will be provided.

We have a Family Dazzle for this #ZebraTravelDiaries entry! The Lyons Family (Owen, 5th grade, Austin, 3rd grade, and Mrs. Lyons, Counselor from Westside) road-tripped all the way to Kennebunkport, ME making a few stops on the way there and back.
One day they stopped at Lake Erie, where they learned about sea glass and shipwrecks from a local searching for the glass along the beach. Mrs. Lyons even found her very own piece of sea glass along the shorelines during the brief stop!
They spent several days in Kennebunkport, Maine, enjoying the local seafood, having fun at the beach, and taking in all the beautiful historic scenery.
On the way home, they stopped in Cooperstown, NY, making it just in time for Hall of Fame Weekend, where they saw many of baseball’s big-name players during the Parade of Legends and explored the museum.
They also stopped to see Niagara Falls!
