Roosevelt High School -

Gold Card members got into the holiday spirit earlier today at our annual Gold Card Holiday Luncheon at Roosevelt High School—and what a memorable day it was! 🎄 Attendees listened to amazing performances from the RHS Jazz Bands and Concert Choir, which left many in awe of just how talented our students are. A unique highlight of the luncheon was creating a collaborative Christmas story using ChatGPT—it quickly became a crowd favorite, sparking plenty of laughter and creativity among the group! A HUGE thank you to: ✨ The RHS Student Council for their incredible hospitality. ✨ The Community Education team for organizing such a wonderful event. ✨ The talented RHS student performance groups and their directors. ✨ The Child Nutrition team for preparing a delicious meal. ✨ And, of course, to everyone who joined us today and helped make it such a special celebration!

As we make our way into the Christmas season, CAC has an awesome opportunity for you! Take some of the stress off of wrapping your gifts by letting CAC do it for you! All proceeds go into the CAC fund to continue to help bless others in our RHS Community who are journeying though cancer.  This year, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes will be donating their service to help them wrap! Thank you for the support RHS Community! See the attached flyer for more information!
