News & Grapevine

Ambyr Burrell is Roosevelt's new principal. She was Assistant Principal at Nathan Hale High School, and before that an English teacher and instructional coach in the Mukilteo School District.

Ten Roosevelt graduates received Golden Grads Scholarships this year, from $8,000 to $11,000 each, plus special awards for music, drama and school spirit. They're headed to schools from the University of Washington and Western Washington University to Stevens Institute, McGill and Oxford.

Teachers' Wish List requests this year included soccer balls for PE, world maps with new projections for AP Human Geography, sensors and scales for science, an embroidery machine for STEM, and books to complete class sets. Golden Grads works with the Roosevelt Foundation and the PTSA so every request is met in some way.

Golden Grads needs a Membership Chair, a Webmaster (no technical skills needed), a Teachers' Wish List co-chair, and class representatives for the classes of 1953, 1959, 1967, 1969, 1970 and 1973 to 1976. Board meetings are online three or four times a year.
