REEF – Roosevelt Elementary Educational Foundation

REEF is comprised of parents, teachers, and Roosevelt administration including Principal Ronzone.

All Roosevelt Parents are REEF Members

As a Roosevelt parent, you are automatically a REEF member. Each parent’s volunteer participation is essential to continue Roosevelt’s tradition of excellence. REEF is a nonprofit organization, under IRS Code section 501(c)(3). Every dollar donated is tax-deductible. 100% of the funds raised for Roosevelt School stay at Roosevelt School.

REEF-Funded Programs and Instructors

Through a joint effort with the teachers, principal, parents, and REEF, Roosevelt has curriculum specialists at all grade levels and instructional specialists in a number of academic areas: computer, physical education (P.E.), and music. REEF also supports Read with Roosevelt, cultural arts, the science fair, arts education and more. Several self-funded programs are also administered by parent volunteers for the benefit of our students: Fall Ball, Carnival, Spirit Days, Yearbook, Directory, and the After School Enrichment Program (ASEP).

REEF Leadership

The membership votes on the election of the Directors as set forth in the Bylaws, the general budget and changes to the Bylaws. The Directors (a.k.a. Board Members) oversee the day-to-day operation of the foundation and make funding decisions based on discussions with the membership and recommendations by the principal. Parents interested in volunteering to be Directors (Board members) please contact reef@rooseveltreef.org.

Monthly Meetings

Meetings are held approximately once a month, in the evenings, throughout the school year.  Attending the first REEF meeting, when the budget is discussed, is the best way to learn more about the special programs and events that are paid for by REEF. Free child care is available at every REEF meeting.
