Roosevelt School is excited to partner with KaBOOM! to give students a new, improved playground. The effort will rely on the volunteer efforts of community members on April 10, 11, and 12 to bring the playground to fruition.
April 10 and 11 have been set aside as Prep Days when community volunteers are needed to take care of various jobs such as unloading playground equipment, priming walls for murals, and other tasks. Build Day, which typically runs from an 8 a.m. arrival on site to a 3 p.m. ribbon cutting ceremony, follows on April 12. To this end, Principal Dr. Fields is currently in need of 50-75 caring community volunteers to assist on Prep Days and 100 volunteers to offer their hearts and hands on Build Day. Those community members wishing to devote their energies on behalf of the children may contact Dr. Fields at Roosevelt School either by phone or via email at cfields@rahway.net as soon as is convenient.
