🌎✨ Community Day at Robbinsdale ✨🌎

Today our students spent Community Day learning about diversity, inclusion, and perspective-taking while celebrating what makes each person unique.

Classrooms began with thoughtful read-alouds that focused on understanding others, appreciating different perspectives, and building a strong, respectful community.

Students then created Ledger Art, decorating a silhouette on a book page to represent what makes them unique and special. The creativity and individuality in each piece was incredible to see, and the activity sparked great conversations about identity and belonging.

Students also enjoyed a small treat of iced tea and Oreos, with gluten-free options available so everyone could participate. If extra time allowed, classrooms wrapped up the day with partner reading or coloring bookmarks.

It was a meaningful day of reflection, creativity, and community—reminding us that our differences help make Robbinsdale a stronger place to learn and grow. 💙

🎉 Family Engagement Night at Robbinsdale! 🎉

Thank you to all the families who joined us for our Health & Fitness Family Engagement Night! It was a wonderful evening filled with movement, games, wellness activities, and time spent together as a school community.

Students and families had the chance to be active, try new activities, and enjoy a light dinner while connecting with teachers and friends. Events like this are a great reminder that when schools and families partner together, our students thrive.

We are so grateful for the strong support of our Robbinsdale families and loved seeing so many smiles throughout the evening! 💙🏃‍♀️🏀

Her attention to detail, problem-solving mindset, and unwavering heart for kids truly make a difference in our school community every single day.

We are so proud to call her ours. 💙

🔥 The Flame Roadrunners Took the Plunge! 🔥

This terrific team braved the icy waters at the 2026 Polar Plunge and they absolutely ROCKED it for a great cause!

Together, these rockstars raised an amazing $6,556 in support of Special Olympics South Dakota. Their courage (and willingness to get a little chilly!) helps provide opportunities and life-changing experiences for athletes across our state.

We are so proud of our team for stepping up, diving in, and showing what it means to lead by example. Way to go, Roadrunners!

❤️ Our Roadrunners are on a mission to make a difference! ❤️

Our students are participating in the Kids Heart Challenge and have been learning how to take care of their hearts while helping others. They even voted on a schoolwide incentive to keep the excitement going—if we reach our fundraising goal, students will get to duct tape Assistant Principal Ms. DiMaria to the wall!

If you would like to support our efforts, we have two ways to give:
🔹 Register & Donate to a Specific Student
Use this link to register your Robbinsdale student or donate directly to a particular student’s page. This helps track their individual participation.

🔹 Make a General School Donation
Use this link if you would like to contribute to Robbinsdale’s Kids Heart Challenge but don’t have a specific student to donate to. These donations still count toward our overall school goal!

https://www2.heart.org/site/TR?fr_id=12398&pg=personal&px=15129900

Every contribution—big or small—helps support heart health education and lifesaving programs. Thank you for encouraging our students and helping us reach our goal!

❤️ What a GREAT night to be a Future Cobbler! ❤️

We had a fantastic turnout at Future Cobbler Night! It was so fun to look up into the stands and see so many of our Future Cobblers showing their spirit and cheering alongside the community at Rapid City Central High School.

Several Roadrunner staff members joined in the fun as well, proudly supporting our students and celebrating this special night together. We hope everyone enjoyed the exciting basketball games, the energy of the cheerleaders, and the awesome sounds of the band!

One of the most memorable moments was watching the senior basketball players be recognized for Senior Night. Our elementary students got a glimpse of that milestone—and a reminder that one day, that will be them.

A big congratulations to one of our very own Roadrunners, Enza, who was the lucky winner of a Nintendo Switch! Way to go, Inza—we hope you’re already having fun with it!

The future is bright, and it’s filled with Cobbler pride!
