Roosevelt Middle School 1.0

ACTIVITIES

There are several clubs and/or activities Roosevelt students can be involved in. Here are a few:
*Sierra Society*

Sierra Society is ERMS's environmental organization with the mission to Explore, Enjoy, and Protect the Planet. We are instrumental in the recycling and composting programs at Roosevelt. Other activities include: nature walks/hiking, camping, animal/wildlife exposure/education. Sierra Society is on a mission to make ERMS a GREEN school...with each helping, caring, dedicated person we CAN make this happen!!
*Science Bowl*
Teams of 6th, 7th and 8th grade students compete against each other to answer questions from the US Department of Energy’s Science Bowl. Categories range from General Science and Math to Physics and Chemistry. Students work together to get an answer, enter them on a remote control and earn points for their team.
*Student Council*
Student council consists of three elected representative from each house. Our primary goal is to serve the school and make it a fun place to be. Student council has been very busy lately! In the recent weeks we have elected our executive council (President, Vice President, and Secretary) and have chosen our t-shirt design. We just finished selling Valentine grams that the students seemed to love. Student council also did our annual adopt a family. We helped a family around Christmas that lost everything in a house fire by collecting essential items. The dances are also a big part of student council. We have sold tickets and decorated the first two dances and can’t wait to do our last dance of the year in the spring.
*Raptor Roos*

Raptors Roos at Roosevelt help plan pep assemblies and have the best school spirit around!
*Apps in the Classroom*
Apps in the Classroom is an activity that allows students to research various hands-on activities that can be applied in the classroom. With the use of iPhones, iPods, iPads and other devices, the students in this activity have been charged with the task of finding apps that can be used in the classroom at the hands of the students.
*Apps in the Classroom*

Raptors Actively Helping (RAH) students have been very busy. On Monday, February 6, the RAH students visited Ennoble Manor to play bingo with the residents. Before going the students were making valentines and treats to share with the residents. Each month the students will visit the nursing home and plan different activities. Another project the students were involved with is the University of Iowa Children's Miracle Network Dance-athon. Our students sold bracelets with the names of children who have been helped by the hospital and were able to raise over $300.00. At this time we have not yet decided on other projects we will do but will probably be doing a fundraiser for the Dubuque Humane Society, so watch for coming details.
*AAA Club*
	The Triple AAA Club is continuing to use the Tzec Maun Telescope in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. This is similar to the MicroObservatory program, but the students must do this program at night. They have many more objects that they look at using The Sky software by Software Bisque. Their images are usually available in 3 to 5 minutes for analysis. We have invited students from George Washington Middle School and Thomas Jefferson School to join Triple AAA members in this special opportunity.
