Xitlali attended school at Highland Senior Park High School and frequently spent her time as a participant at the West 7th Community Center from second grade until her 9th-grade year. When asked what she specifically remembered about the Community Kids program, Xitlali remembered the activities she enjoyed in the program. "I was introduced to and involved in many volunteering opportunities," Xitlali says. She further says, "Some of the examples of this are food drives, library assistance, and other events organized by the community center and the kids' program." With the influence of Community Kids, Xitlali was able to find ways to help her community. She currently is a Citizen Lake Monitor for the MPCA and participates in city park clean-up events.

Programs like Community Kids are great because they offer learning activities that are fun and engaging but challenging in the sense that it allows youth participants to become curious and confident learners. When asked how she felt being involved in Community Kids and if it prepared her for the next step of her journey as she enters college, Xitlali said, "[Community Kids] taught me time management". Instead of waiting to do her homework at home, Xitlali chose to do her homework while she was participating in Community Kids. Time management is one skill that will for sure follow her throughout her journey at the University of Wisconsin- Madison.

With the help of the Oneida Scholarship, Xitlali will be pursuing a STEM major at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. "I'm going to study genetics and hopefully, that'll go into more closely genetic engineering," she says. One of the reasons why Xitlali wanted to pursue a career in genetics is because wanted to inspire Latina girls. "I would like to [show] little girls that Latina women can also thrive in scientific fields," she says. Although she is nervous about choosing genetics as her major of choice, Xitlali is excited and passionate about learning about this topic.
Keystone Community Services is proud of you, Xitlali, and we cannot wait to see you shine at the University of Wisconsin - Madison!

RMS Robin Tweetings Newsletter

The summer months are upon us, filled with laughter and fun. We can finally take off those coats and emerge from the layers of clothing (I’m still recommending masks and social distancing whenever possible, though).  Many families will be visiting relatives and friends, and having adventures during the long sunny days.   I encourage you to get outside and exercise! Get to know your neighbors and neighborhood! Go walk that dog, or go out with your with friends! Go speak to that new family that just moved on your block. Have garden planting parties and book club meetings outside, where the air is fresh enough to blow the germs away.  Enjoy the company of others. Build community…TOGETHER!

Our RMS Robins appreciated seeing all the families coming out to support them during the grade level awards ceremonies! It was so wonderful to see the smiles on their faces as they accepted awards, and cheered for their classmates who received accolades. I reminded them all of the responsibilities they have to be great and continue to grow as learners and leaders. I also reminded them about William Henley’s poem Invictus…to be their own “captain” and make choices to put opportunities of success in their lives. Our Robins have grown so much! We are well pleased with them, and are glad to be part of this educational journey with them.

Also, Happy Father's Day to all of our RMS fathers and father figures out there. WE appreciate you!

Have a wonderful, safe, and happy summer, and be your own captain!

June is Pride Month, and in Robbinsdale Area Schools, recognition of the strengths within our staff and students is an essential core value. A big thank you to Mr. Strecker for making this amazing board in support of Pride Month!

Immunizations Information

Now is a great time to make sure your student has all of their required immunizations for school. Students must be up to date on all required immunizations (or have a medical or non-medical exemption on file) as of the first day of school in order to attend. This is especially critical for 7th grade and 12th grade students who have Meningococcal vaccine requirements. Don't know which immunizations are needed in the state of Minnesota? Take a look at this graphic to see which immunizations are required for school.

This summer the district's Nutrition Services Department will provide free meals at local parks to anyone aged 18 and younger.

SDC Graduation Celebration

Congratulations to our Center Based students on graduating. Take a look at some of the photos we captured during their graduation ceremony!

RMS held its first 8th-grade student summit on Friday, May 27, 2022. The student summit was small group discussions facilitated by 8th-grade students. The discussion revolved around school climate, learning and support, and our RMS community. The student's thoughts and ideas were captured and then shared with our ILT and the whole staff. This feedback will provide information on the student's perception of RMS and help build Robin's community stronger as we move to the next school year.

Congratulations to our May IB Students of the Month!
