In an effort to gain greater parent and community involvement in education, Roosevelt Middle School of the Arts hosted its first “Take My Child To School Day” on Tuesday, September 15, 2015. The event idea was given to the school’s parent coordinator, Terana Ray, after the principal (Keushum Willingham) saw a similar event take place earlier in the school year somewhere else. The school promoted the event for two weeks, calling for all fathers, grandfathers, male guardians and mentors to attend with their children, and other prominent members of the community. A few in attendance were Alderman Russell Stamper, II; County Supervisor Supreme Moore Omokunde; Community advocate and mentor Kwabena Antoine Nixon; Milwaukee School Board Director Annie Woodward; members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., and many parents.
