Roosevelt High School had three students, Nicholas Maas (11), Faith Gaye (11), and Hawi Meshessha (12), participate in the 2023 SD Legislature Page Program. It is a competitive program that students had to apply for in October. Each student served for one of the five terms that equated to a 1-2 week period in Pierre. Students had an opportunity to see the Legislation in action and make new friends from across the state. Congratulations to you all!

Roosevelt High School , in conjunction with the SD Department of Labor and Regulation, will host a JOB FAIR on Wednesday, April 26 after school in the Commons. This is a great opportunity for students to learn about summer job opportunities as well as some full-time job options. Over 30 different businesses will be in attendance.
The stats are troubling-47% of SFSD students qualify for free/reduced lunches. Their family's income is not enough to make ends meet. That makes it difficult to support school fundraisers. Operation Hope & Caring helps! Get your tickets to the SF STORM game to support schools!

For day 3 of the SD Week of Work we’d like to shine a spotlight on our high school juniors!
This week every high school in the SFSD is participating in Junior Career Day Activities. Juniors attend a college fair and hear from presenters with the Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce and the Development Foundation.
Juniors are at a pivotal point in planning for their future career choices. The end of high school is finally starting to become a reality and life after K-12 is becoming a more tangible idea. During the college fair today, Roosevelt High School juniors got to hear from a variety of post high school paths available to them including two and four year college programs, military options and various tech schools throughout the region. During the presentation given by the Development Foundation, students learned about what makes Sioux Falls, and South Dakota as a whole, a special place to continue to grow. The data and numbers shown in the presentation don’t lie; South Dakota is poised for growth and opportunities abound for our future workforce!
Events like Junior Career Day are wonderful opportunities to connect students directly with the people and ideas they need to make the best choices for their futures. Tomorrow we’ll take a look at the various job fairs that students have access to throughout the school year. Stay tuned!

Today was a special day for a group of students at R.F Pettigrew Elementary and Roosevelt High School. A 5th grader at R.F Pettigrew is battling Leukemia and has a brother who goes to RHS. The Cancer Awareness Club at RHS and students from R.F Pettigrew held a fund raiser for the family and today participating students from both schools got together for a photo. The collaboration between RHS and Pettigrew raised almost $500 for the family. The ‘Courage for Cobey’ shirts even tied in the school colors, with Maroon for RHS and Purple for Pettigrew. What a great show of support from our students for their peers and community members!
