There is always a lot going on in the RIS LMC during 21st-century skills and Technology! a couple weeks ago students in grades 3 and 5 applied coding skills using various robotic devices including, Ozobots and Edisons. Fourth grade students learned about circuitry with IlttleBits and how to create code to control a circuit. There is always time to cozy up with a good book or make a bookmark.

2020 Starpoint graduate Kaitlyn Haak shares her journey to her current position at Citi:
As the President of the Math Honor Society, Kaitlyn worked to promote the organization. She led community initiatives and assisted in helping her peers. She took many AP and advanced college-level classes which helped her to get into Niagara University with the highest academic scholarship available. “When I chose my degree, I had no idea what I was going to do, I just knew I liked math, and I was good at it. I didn’t know what I could do with a math degree, but everyone just kind of told me that there were many options for people with a math degree. So, I went through college with that in my head.” She focused on mathematics and graduated in May of 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a minor in General Business. Throughout high school and college, she worked at Wegmans as the Coordinator in the Floral Department. All of her experiences helped her determine that she wanted to work for a company that would allow her to grow in the company. Her mentor encouraged her to consider Citi and provided her with a contact at Citi. It was through the contact that she learned about the Citi Analyst Program and it was a perfect fit. She applied and through a lengthy interview process, was awarded one of the 12 positions available at the Getzville location. She has been working at Citi in her first rotation for almost 6 months and says “I can honestly say that I love it”. Citi welcomes people with many different degrees but she is happy she earned a Mathematics degree. It set her apart from the other people who had finance or economics degrees. It made her stand out because it gave her a different perspective and showed her determination to pursue a difficult degree. She indicated that her high school and college experiences allowed her to get into an amazing program at Citi to start her career. She is the youngest in the program at her location and has been selected to plan and coordinate program events with the other classes at her location.
Congratulations Kaitlyn! Starpoint applauds all of our graduates for their efforts!
