MISSION To ignite the academic and creative potential of students with dyslexia and other languagebased learning differences.

VISION The world class educational program at HRS is a catalyst for students to discover the joy of learning within a rich, comprehensive school experience.

CORE VALUES Respect, Responsibility, Purpose, Perseverance The Scoop is a publication of the HRS Advancement Office and is mailed quarterly.

This year was like no other; a year when we saw many changes, but also many constants.

There is always so much to look forward to when we head into the season of fall. The excitement surrounding the new school year and a fresh start, the first of many crisp cool days, pumpkins (or dare I say pumpkin spice?), the changing colors of tree leaves, all culminating in the Thanksgiving holiday. As Winnie the Pooh said, “It’s the first day of autumn!

A time of hot chocolatey mornings, and toasty marshmallow evenings, and, best of all, leaping into leaves!”

The end of the fall season is also the time of year we publish our annual report, a time when we can acknowledge and thank our remarkable community of supporters. The 2020-21 year was like no other; a year when we saw many changes, but also many constants. The constants included an extraordinary year of giving to help us fundraise for our new middle school, with each and every gift an affirmation of our mission: to ignite the academic and creative potential of students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. Other constants: a faculty and staff with a profound commitment to helping our students

succeed, students who want to be active learners in the classroom, and families who understand the power of our program.

The changes include continued enrollment growth and preparation for the next school year when we will expand our program into the new space, a return to in-person learning after months of virtual lessons, and progress toward meeting our strategic goals. Change is the first step in maturing and innovating – and change will continue to lead to transformation as we evolve and experience an everwidening recognition of our school and program.

With this issue, we’ve completed a full year of publishing our updated newsletter The Scoop. It is filled with content celebrating our school and stories about the people who make up our flourishing community. We are grateful for everyone who unselfishly dedicated time, talent, and treasure to securing our future.

It is the dedication of countless individuals who make it possible for HRS to achieve and thrive. For this, I am grateful.

Sincerely,

Stacy Turner Head of School

lums from Hamlin Robinson School are filled with creativity and driven to follow their dreams. Recently, we’ve been following one alumna’s passion project, which will earn her the designation as the first female Eagle Scout from her troop. What started out as an individual plan, bloomed into a full-fledged community effort.

Elysia Craff’s project, building an eagle perching pole on Eagle Island in Eagle Lake, wasn’t simple.

It required special materials, engineering, and some high-powered leverage to hoist the pole upwards.

The new perch replaces a previous one that had deteriorated and fallen in a storm.

The project started with digging a 3-footdeep hole for the cement base filled with forty-eight 60-pound bags of cement mix. This became the foundation for a 35-foot aluminum flagpole, topped with a custom aluminum pipe welded perch.

To get all of the pieces together, Elysia gathered support from local specialty businesses and volunteers, as well as financing from her community through a GoFundMe. Just a few weeks ago, everything finally came together and all of Elysia’s hard work paid off. The new perch is now successfully installed, sturdy, and ready to serve as a safe resting place.

It will undoubtedly stand for years to come, built by one HRS eagle, for all local eagles so they can perch, rest, and preen. •

Sending Thanks to Our Neighbors Hamlin Robinson School doesn’t stand on its own - we are part of a rich and diverse local community. HRS neighbors have graciously welcomed our school, our students, and our growth.

This fall, we planted seeds of our thanks by delivering plants to our neighbors, complete with a student-colored card. We’re so proud to call this neighborhood home and look forward to continuing to build community connections.

Army Olsen ’12 An alumnus from 2012, the origins of Army Olsen’s story trace back to the family home. Seattle Farm, founded by his family five generations ago, is tucked away in Southeast Seattle. The farm hosts events, boards horses, has dozens of goats, and a friendly cow.

E

ach October, the farm holds a special one-day event where prized pumpkins, grown by Army himself, are sold and families are invited to explore the farm. Of the resident animals, his childhood horse, Sparky, is still Army’s favorite. More than just the family farm, Army has a deep history of learning from the past and from other cultures, while also embracing new technology.

4 | The HRS Scoop

ON HIS IMAGINATION: When Army first came to Hamlin Robinson School, he was described by his former teachers Ms. Nelson and Ms. Massoth as full of imagination and personality, shining bright and bursting with new ideas. This description would be no surprise to Army’s family. As a child, the Wild West and American history fascinated Army and he frequently arrived at school dressed as a cowboy. His interest grew because of his access to horseback riding, even taking the horses for pack trips on the Pacific Crest Trail and out for urban trail rides.

ON HIS LEARNING EVOLUTION: Unknown to many, Army’s first language was Spanish, and he only began speaking English at age 3. His mother loved traveling and foreign language, and promoted a diverse, worldly approach to learning. With a family devoted to travel and cultural appreciation, it was stunning for Army and his family to realize the school he most needed was just a few miles away from his own home - one of the only schools devoted to dyslexic students in the country at the time.

ON HOW TECHNOLOGY CHANGED HIS LIFE: As a student who always struggled with reading, HRS was an incredible lifeline for Army. Being in an environment with teachers who understood his struggles and supported his learning style was priceless. Army has never forgotten tips and tricks he learned as a student, including punctuation. He now remembers, whenever there is a pause in a sentence, there should be a comma.

When Army partnered his newfound skills and the self-advocacy learned at HRS with new technology, he began excelling. While his reading ability has advanced by leaps and bounds, it’s still something he has to work on. Assistive tools like speech to text and text to »

» speech have been immensely helpful in making sure what he is trying to communicate is what actually comes out in written form. Sometimes without it, when he looks back at what he wrote, the letters are jumbled, making it difficult to decipher.

estate. Inside of his business degree, he double focused in finance and entrepreneurship. To top it off, Army received a professional sales certificate and graduated cum laude from each program.

Now, as he steps out of college and into his career, he’s confident in his abilities and is focused on his future, starting his career as a real estate broker and developer at Paragon Real Estate Advisors. •

During Army’s time as a student at the University of Washington, the disability resources for students (DRS) helped organize accommodations for Army in his classes, the most helpful of which was providing text books in audio format. He finished his degree at UW with a double major in business administration and real

e patiently waited for the opportunity to host the groundbreaking for our new building and were thrilled to finally gather together on September 30 to celebrate this special event. Guests joined on campus while others followed on Facebook live. Head of School, Stacy Turner, opened our program marking this incredibly exciting time for the school.

Our capital campaign volunteers, with purpose and drive, helped make this day possible. Steve and Kim Oberto were instrumental in helping HRS acquire the coveted property and reminded us of the power of community.

To know our project is supported by the community, our neighbors, and the Oberto family is a powerful testament

to the recognition that every child deserves the right to learn how to read.

We were also thrilled to welcome Marvin Eng, the district representative for Representative Adam Smith. Marvin acts as the liaison between Mr. Smith’s office and the greater community. On behalf of Mr. Smith, he shared, “For almost 40 years, the Hamlin Robinson School has been an example of »

The HRS Student Council representatives helped prepare our time capsule which includes pieces of Hamlin Robinson’s history to be buried

in the new building, where they will remain until opened in the future. Our guests, faculty, and students had the unique and special opportunity to sign their name on a steel beam to be placed in the new middle school.

At HRS, our common purpose is to provide a place where our students feel they belong, and where they can be their authentic self. This expansion into our new home is filled with endless possibilities. We couldn’t be more excited to open our doors and welcome our community in. • LEARN MORE + GET INVOLVED: www.hamlinrobinson.org/EOI

A Journey Through Seven Colleges

M

assimo Backus wants you to know he attended seven different colleges. To be clear, he’s not bragging or sharing this for the reasons you might assume. In fact, it is actually more accurate to say he persevered through seven different colleges. His message to others is, “It’s ok to not have it all figured out in the beginning...the journey adds to who you become.”

Diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, Massimo describes his early education as a void. “I blocked a lot of it out,” he says. “I hid a sense of shame about my dyslexia and felt rudderless.

I was always behind in school. My overwhelming belief was I could never contribute meaning or value in the classroom. My parents were very supportive, but I don’t think they fully

understood how to help me. Despite enrollment at a private school and hired tutors, academic excellence was not an expectation for me.”

Massimo believes every student wants to excel at something, they just might not know their strengths.

For him, creative endeavors in school were a confidence-building outlet.

However, as much as he enjoyed the arts, he struggled to find his path. “My high school theater teacher told me I was a ‘ball of misplaced energy,’” says Massimo. “He also told me I might really excel if I could be laser-focused on something. I still remember those words. He gave me motivation to find that ‘something.’”

Massimo admits to graduating from high school with some bitterness toward the educational system and a desire to prove wrong those who didn’t believe in his ability. So began his journey through seven colleges. “First, I attended Landmark College (a school exclusively for students with learning differences), then I transferred to the University of San Francisco for no reason except my friend went there.

I dropped out midway through my sophomore year because I wasn’t doing it for myself.”

At this point, Massimo landed a gig in door-to-door sales. “Not everyone can handle that line of work, but I was naturally good at it,” he says. “I excelled at building relationships, teams, and sales. I was able to transfer these skills into commercial real estate work – building my confidence and an understanding of my strengths along the way. I still hadn’t found my ‘laserfocused something,’ but I gravitated toward the study of psychology.”

With renewed purpose, Massimo began taking classes at Seattle Central College, then North Seattle College, and eventually completed an undergraduate degree in psychology at Seattle University. Through all of this, however, he hid his dyslexia.

“I didn’t understand how to advocate for myself or my need for accommodations. I got my degree, but it was a struggle. I also found a champion there. My advisor, Dr. LaVoy, helped me believe in my dreams and urged me to pursue graduate work, which I would have previously thought improbable.”

Starting at UW, then transferring to Claremont Graduate University, Massimo pursued a master’s degree in organizational psychology. He also finally embraced his learning style and the differentiating strengths he brought to the classroom.

He sought assistance and ditched any residual shame about his dyslexia. He also finished at the top of his class.

In October, Massimo gave a presentation to Level 8 students at HRS. He explained his story as eager eighth graders raised their hands with lots of questions. “How did your parents respond when you got bad grades?” one student asked.

Others were curious about his time at Nintendo and what it was like to be a door to door salesman. Massimo »

8 | The HRS Scoop

» enjoys sharing his long journey with dyslexia and finding his passion. He hopes the Level 8 students can find similarities in his story and realize their strengths as they enter high school, college, careers, and whatever else their futures bring.

Today, Massimo runs a business in Leadership Coaching and HighPerformance Team Development. “I love what I do, and am laser-focused on it. My passion is to equip people to recognize and build the whole person.

I encourage them to draw strength from their own story. Each of us has a journey that adds to who we become.

I can attest to that.” •
