The precocious Roosevelt Franklin attended Roosevelt Franklin Elementary School, where he taught the class as often as not. He taught concepts like family, pride, respect, geography and not drinking poison. Roosevelt was a cool kid who loved to scat, rhyme and sing the blues. His mother was proud of him. __TOC__ In addition to his elementary school, he had his own stadium, Roosevelt Franklin Stadium, where he coached Headball. Roosevelt has a younger sister, who wishes that she could go to school like he does.

Roosevelt has a younger sister, who wishes that she could go to school like he does. Matt Robinson, who played Gordon during the first three seasons, created the character and performed Roosevelt's voice.

Roosevelt Franklin also made a cameo in a season 45 episode in 2014.
