🌵 THROWBACK FRIDAY: Roosevelt
The Arizona State Historic Property Inventory describes Roosevelt as the first public school in Yuma designed in a fundamentally modern mode. Its design reflected emerging ideas about how schools should be built for young children.

The building features:
Spanish Colonial Revival influence
Red tile roofs
Brick construction
Large groups of wood-framed windows
Arched entrances
Arcades
An H-shaped floor plan
A large, open campus surrounding the building

The original building measured approximately 150 feet by 168 feet. In other words, Roosevelt wasn't just another school building—it represented a new generation of school architecture in Yuma.

🔎 HELP US UNCOVER OUR HISTORY!
As we prepare to celebrate 100 years of Roosevelt, we are looking for historic photographs, yearbooks, newspaper clippings, stories, documents, and memories from former students, staff, families, and community members.
📸 Do you have an old photo of Roosevelt?
📚 Did you or a family member attend Roosevelt?
👩‍🏫 Do you remember a former teacher or principal?
🏫 Do you have a story about your time at Roosevelt?
📰 Do you have information that could help us piece together our school's history?

We want to hear from you! ❤️ Stop by our school, call us, comment or message on FB, or email [email protected].
Please help us uncover the stories and memories that have made Roosevelt a special part of Yuma for the past 100 years. Your memories could become part of our school's history!

🎉 SAVE THE DATE! 🎉
Join us for our 100th School Year Celebration!
📅 January 22, 2027
⏰ 9:30 AM
📍 Roosevelt Elementary School

Following the celebration, we will host a Career Fair featuring Yuma's amazing community partners, giving our students an opportunity to explore careers and dream about their futures! 🌟

Let's celebrate where we've been, honor those who came before us, and inspire the next 100 years of Roosevelt Tigers!
