Students and families gathered at Roosevelt Elementary School on March 6 for a special attendance celebration called “Bagels with a Buddy.” The event, organized by Dean of Students Kjaersti Roberts, recognized students in grades 3 through 5 who achieved 95% or better attendance during the month of February.
Held in the school auditorium, the celebration invited students to bring a parent or guardian to enjoy breakfast together. Families shared an assortment of bagels, cream cheese, and juice while recognizing the teamwork it takes to maintain strong attendance.
“This incentive is about celebrating our students’ commitment to showing up every day,” Roberts said. “It’s also about recognizing that families play a huge role in helping students reach that 95% mark.”
In addition to breakfast, families found X-Plore activity cards on the tables to spark conversation and encourage meaningful connection.
Following the event, Roberts praised the Roosevelt team’s efforts, sharing, “This morning was amazing. I love ideas that come to fruition and blossom, and I am just thankful for all the staff at Roosevelt who helped make this morning as great as it was for everyone who took their morning to be with to be with their child.”
