Roosevelt Chorus
The FDR was chosen, along with 5 other middle and elementary schools, to bring 18 of our chorus members to participate in the BPS 100 Voice Choir which performed at the 55th Annual Conference of Big City School Superintendents, hosted by Carol Johnson. Dr. Johnson went row by row and shook each student's hand just before we sang. All the students were fabulous and our FDR Students shined in behavior and musicality!Click here to see the performance video
The Roosevelt has been recognized by state officials as one of 187 Massachusetts “Commendation Schools.”
Commendation Schools were selected by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for showing “steady progress in raising student achievement while at the same time demonstrating a consistent narrowing of achievement gaps among students.”
The Roosevelt was one of only three schools in the Boston Public School district to receive this recognition.
Congratulations to our teachers, students, and families for the hard work this honor represents!
