FROM THE PRINCIPAL: 11 DAYS AND COUNTING

In less than two weeks, we’ll come together for our annual school auction. This event is always a highlight of the year, offering a fantastic evening where parents and staff unite in support of our school.

As many of you know, it is becoming increasingly challenging for all schools, and especially for non-Title I campuses, to meet the diverse needs of our students. Parent contributions have never been more critical in this ever-evolving financial landscape of school funding. Each year, we have a “big ask” for the auction. This year we are raising funds to upgrade the campus computer lab and enhance classroom technology, including replacing outdated Clevertouch boards, laptops, and iPads.

The auction has something for everyone! Whether you’re looking for adult or student parties, or unique items and gifts, there are plenty of opportunities to purchase items to benefit our school. Every donation matters—no contribution is too small or too large.

Thank you for your unwavering support of our students and staff. Your generosity and commitment are vital to the success of both the auction and our school. Together, we continue to make our school truly out of this world.

FUN RUN POSTPONED TO FRIDAY, FEB. 28

The Fun Run has been postponed to Friday, Feb. 28 due to weather. Feb. 28 is also Go Texan Day! Roberts will celebrate Go Texan Day on Thursday, Feb. 27. Students are welcome to wear their Go Texan Day gear on Thursday instead, or students may choose to run in their Texan gear or their class-themed outfit on Friday for Fun Run.

SPIRIT NIGHT AT TORCHYS TACOS LAST TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH

Every final Tuesday of the month, February through May, is Torchy's Tacos Tuesday for Roberts! Join us from 4–8 p.m. at the Rice Village location on Times Blvd. Mention Roberts Spirit Night and Torchy's will donate 15 percent of your check for dine in, takeout, and online orders. Be sure to name Roberts or show your flyer when you pick up.
