Roosevelt Elementary School, Eau Claire, WI

The mission of Roosevelt Elementary School, a uniquely diverse learning community that values optimal student achievement, is to empower all students to become successful community members and life long learners by using best educational practices and resources to ensure various opportunities to contribute, participate and learn within a safe, nurturing environment.

Children need an adult to take a moment each day to recognize their existence, to make them feel special and loved, to "Be There" for them.  It doesn't require additional resources of time or money - just smiling at them, asking a question, making eye contact, including them in the daily routines of life.

These simple actions will reap immense rewards at home, at play and at school.  Be There for a child today.  The benefits will last a lifetime.  Be There is a national movement that inspires parents to become more involved in their children's education.
