Robbinsdale Middle School leaders presented "Robins Break" to the board on April 7, 2025 as part of the Rdale Proud showcase. Principal Shirrie Jackson, Assistant Principal Colleen Kennedy and Administrative Intern Noelle Nelson described the program, which began Jan. 13, 2025 and provides occasional movement breaks in the gym or outside during the last 10 minutes of lunch.
