Wayne County schools must actively participate in several green activities including recycling paper, plastic and electronics--to name a few.
The list of responsibilities for Wayne County schools to earn the Michigan Green School designation is a long one. The list of schools that have earned the designation is much shorter. Wyandotte Roosevelt High School is on that list. Schools in Wayne County must do all of these things and more to make the list: Tina Weller, teacher at Roosevelt, said the program provided a perfect opportunity for students to get involved with the environment of the school. "Students and teachers can learn how to become more energy efficient, help to lower utility costs, conserve resources and reduce waste," Weller said. "Green schools showcase a community's commitment to its students and their future." The state's Green School designation requires schools …

Students and staff wished 25-year volunteer Walter Miller farewell and good luck in his retirement Friday.
With a crowd of students and staff cheering him on, Walter Miller walked out of Wyandotte's Roosevelt High School for the last time Friday to begin his retirement. Much like the hundreds of football games the Wyandotte native had attended over the past 25 years as the team manager, the cheering of the crowd Friday afternoon was on par with the cheers for Miller's beloved Bears. "I love these kids," Miller said. "And these kids love me." Miller has spent nearly every day of his life, even before he graduated from Roosevelt in 1991, volunteering his time in any capacity necessary. In addition to team manager for the varsity football team, Miller has served as president of the high school basketball teams. Principal Tom Kell said Miller's …

Roosevelt senior Cameron Snyder-Pitts recited “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats to clinch the second runner-up spot.
Occasionally, the way in which a poem is presented is as important as the poem itself. Roosevelt High School senior Cameron Snyder-Pitts might have had this in mind when she grabbed the second runner-up spot at a statewide poetry reading competition called Poetry Out Loud. Snyder-Pitts competed against 36 other high school students at the two-day competition held at the East Lansing Hannah Community Center on Feb. 22 and 23. Synder-Pitts recited “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats during the final round of competition to clinch the title of second runner-up.
