The Roosa family has experienced a significant loss with the passing of student Brian Page. Brian was one of the most well-known students in our Roosa community, recognized for his daily "joke of the day" and his incredibly infectious smile.
Students who wish to attend his memorial service will have their absences excused, and they will not be counted against them.
The details for Brian Wayne Page's funeral services are as follows:
- **Viewing:** Monday, 4-6 PM at Payne Funeral Home, Claremore
- **Funeral:** Tuesday, 1 PM at Cedar Point Church, Claremore
On Tuesday, we encourage all staff and students to wear "Blue for Brian." Blue was one of Brian's favorite colors and is also the color associated with AMC awareness.

Did you know that Stuart Roosa conducted extensive experiments during his Apollo 14 mission? One of these experiments involved carrying seeds from trees into space. The seeds were later germinated and planted across the United States and in a few other countries. These trees became known as Moon Trees. Roosa Elementary School has a Moon Tree planted on the playground, which is surrounded by a picket fence.

Dear Roosa Families,
As you know, accidents happen—whether it's wet slides, mud puddles, or leaking milk cartons. We are in urgent need of donations for our clothes closet. Specifically, girls' clothing in all sizes and are especially in need of boys' sizes 10 and 12. Of course, shoes of any size are welcome as well. This is the perfect time to clean out those closets.
