RECAP ON APRIL EVENTS
Along with the start of Springtime, the Roosevelt Middle School Community welcomed the beginning of the 4th and final Marking Period on April 9th. As we approach the end of the school year, the School Counseling team looks forward to supporting our students in reaching a happy conclusion to the 2024-25 academic year, and in navigating their transitions to 8th grade and West Orange High School.
We hope that your family and students had a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break! At the end of April, the Roosevelt Community came back together in celebrating the RMS Environmental Club's Earth Day/Clothing Swap and Festival. The Club thanks all who donated to the clothing swap, and who attended the festival.
On Wednesday, April 30th our community also enjoyed a morning assembly presented by Faye Malkin. She made sure the day of remembrance did not go unnoticed and taught our students a lesson of resilience. Let's never forget.

Social Skills Group 2-14-2025.pdfMay is Mental Health Month
We live in a rapidly changing world that can be complex to navigate. About half of Americans can remember a time when we were not constantly connected and it was easier to tune out the noise of the world, while the younger half of the population can’t imagine life without the internet.
Modern life can have a significant impact on mental health — for better or for worse. The disturbing imagery in the media we are exposed to today can be deeply unsettling. At the same time, our current technology also allows us to mobilize and provide collective support more efficiently in times of natural disasters or injustice.
And ironically, while our devices make us more connected than ever, loneliness is an increasingly serious public health concern. We are now able to have conversations with friends and family on the other side of the world in real time. However, constant connection also means that we will know if we weren’t invited to a friend’s party down the street. Recent survey data show that more than half of U.S. adults (58%) are lonely.
Finding a sense of calm and focusing on well-being when you are having mental health concerns can be daunting in our fast-paced society. It can be especially challenging to know where to start. May is Mental Health Month.
How To Talk About Mental Health
Here are 5 things you can do for your #mentalhealth this week/throughout the month:
Make a list of 5 things you’re grateful for today.
Start a conversation about mental health.
Stay hydrated!
Take a break from screens.
What can we do when it feels like the world is weighing on us? For starters, we can find a support system, set boundaries with technology, get involved in advocacy, and learn healthy coping skills!
Everyone goes through rough periods, so it’s important to take care of yourself and have healthy coping tools on standby to use when times get tough. This #MentalHealthMonth, start building your coping toolbox.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at 988 lifeline.org. You can also reach the Crisis Text Line by texting HELLO to 741741.
