REPOST FROM OCTOBER 23, 2020 —
Hello, Rough Riders!
We are contacting you from the Theodore Roosevelt HS Rough Rider Yearbook. We know that this school year will look very different, and events, sports and activities may not occur or will be abbreviated. We understand that your sport/club/activities are still important to our school. We want to tell that story and how Covid-19 affected your participation. Our goal is to make the yearbook student-centric this year and tell as many stories as possible. In order to do so, the yearbook staff needs your pictures.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Mrs. Janelle Cuva, TRHS Yearbook Advisor

The information below is a reposting of information (originally from November 2) regarding recent elections.
You may view Post-Election Support Website for more information and resources.
===========
Theodore Roosevelt High School has been in existence for nearly 100 years. Over the years, Roosevelt students have witnessed many presidential elections. This presidential election has caused quite a division throughout our country. People have intense feelings about the election and those who support the losing candidate may be disappointed.
Regardless of who is elected president, it is important for all of us to remember, we are all responsible for creating the best possible learning environment for all of our students. To that end, we will continue to promote the following expectations after the election:
The people who comprise our learning community are strong and resilient. We have confidence that when we work together, we have the ability to be good. When we love each other, we can be great! In the words of famed historian and author, John Meacham, “In our finest hours . . . the soul of our country manifests itself in an inclination to open our arms rather than to clench our fists; to look out rather than to turn inward; to accept rather than to reject.”
We will have special election counseling services available this week and in the following weeks to any of our students who require it. There are also resources available to the community. Those resources are posted on the Post-Election Support website.
Sincerely,
Dennis Love, Principal

Sincerely, Your Class Advisors, Class Officers, Counseling Office, & Student Activities Office
