You are all amazing! So many Rogers county families will have a brighter holiday because of your generosity! Rogers county commissioner, Mr. Dan DeLozier stopped by to accept this charitable donation for the Share the Spirit drive and to congratulate us for a job well done! As for our school wide competition: Mrs. Mann's class, and Mrs. Kropp's class, way to use your love of some healthy competition to support such a great cause! Your extra recess and ice cream sandwich party will be here before you know it! #SharetheSpirit #GoodJob #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

From the second a student enters the front doors of Stuart Roosa Elementary until always, they are part of our family. They work and play shoulder to shoulder for years and share so much of their lives! Encountering another person who had the Roosa experience - whether in the now or once upon a time - is always exciting! This weekend, a talented group of young actors and actresses from across the has been performing Frozen Jr. at the Robson PAC. With a wide range of ages, 3rd grade through 10th, on top of their stage, these students all have walked the halls of Roosa, and we are so proud of each and every one of them! You just never know where you're going to find a wild dazzle of Roosa zebras! 🦓 If you've not had a chance to see the show, Frozen Jr. is playing one more time! ✨️✨️✨️🎭🎭🎭✨️✨️✨️ Today, Sunday December 17th Robson PAC 2:00pm ✨️✨️✨️🎭🎭🎭✨️✨️✨️ #OnceARoosaKid #AlwaysARoosaKid #LocalYouthTheater #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

When it comes to becoming a 5th grader, one of the things we hear so many students excited about is becoming part of our Safety Patrol. Fifth graders are placed in very visible roles assisting younger students and demonstrating the pride we have for our school and even country. As you're dropping off your kiddos in the mornings, keep an eye out for our safety patrol flag crew. Even on the coldest of mornings, they proudly ensure that our flags are able to wave proudly above our building. Keep up the great work!!

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

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
