The date for the Roosevelt Veterans parade has been changed to 1 p.m. Friday due to anticipated inclement weather on Veteran's Day. Children and their families will start to line up at 12:3o p.m.

This year would have been the 10th Annual Veteran’s Day Dinner at Roosevelt Elementary School.
Due to COVID, Roosevelt will not have its Veteran’s Day Dinner and school-wide program.
"We still want to honor our veterans in some form, so we will be making a video and a thank you card for each veteran and have a parade," Gay Flax, organizer and Roosevelt teacher, said.
On Tuesday, Nov. 10, Roosevelt would ask if you have a veteran in your family to join in the parade around Roosevelt Elementary. The parade starts at 1 p.m. and ends at 2 p.m. or whenever all veterans have driven around the route.
Roosevelt would like the veterans to drive in your vehicle down MacArthur, turn right onto 22nd Street, turn right onto Donald Drive, turn right onto Lawrence Drive, and then turn right on East 19th Street.
Roosevelt will have all its students lined up six feet apart around the parade route with signs and flags. The school would like to invite parents to also join us standing around the parade route. Parents, you will be standing with your student. Everyone participating will be required to wear a mask throughout the parade.
Each family is asked to make a poster for your child to hold up during the parade. If you have a veteran, your poster can honor your veteran. If you do not have a veteran in your family, please make a sign honoring our military.
