Christiana is a senior in high school and has been a Pro Kids member for over 10 years! Christiana served as a Pro Kids intern this past summer and enjoyed working with students in summer camp and golf class. This Level 4 member has participated in countless workshops, field trips, classes, golf outings, and community service events during her time at PK. Most recently she attended the College Road Trip in July and many local college visits and college prep workshops with Ms. Amber. Christiana has been a dedicated member of JROTC throughout her high school career, as well as a member of the golf team and dance team. Currently she also volunteers as a teaching assistant at her former elementary school. When she’s not studying, Christiana enjoys getting boba with friends, watching anime, and listening to K-Pop. We appreciate Christiana’s sense of humor and positive attitude, she makes everyone around her feel welcome and have fun. Although we will miss Christiana after she graduates, we look forward to her future as a Pro Kids Scholar!

Titus is a kind, funny, and an extremely hard working member of the program.  You can often find him wandering around the chipping green with a wedge or running around the golf course doing some kind of challenge he just created for himself.  He participates in classes, tournaments, and golf leagues and is a quick pick whenever teams are being chosen.  When not playing or practicing, he likes to read mystery novels, nibble on snack packs, or watch the 49ers play.  Titus’s skills on the course are extremely impressive when considering both his age and how he only just started playing golf.  We’re looking forward to watching him improve and remain a fixture at the Oceanside campus for years to come! 

Our member of the month is Jordan! This Level 1 member might be new to golf, but he shows passion and perseverance every time he hits the course. He embodies what it means to be a Pro Kids member everywhere he goes.

When Jordan is not working hard at PK, he is busy playing Fortnite, hanging out with his cousins, or exploring the playground. He is an aspiring professional gamer and spends his free time working on achieving his goal!

From looking out for his older sister, helping out a friend, or getting to know someone new, Jordan’s humility is inspiring to all. His contagious laughter brings joy to the classroom every day, making it hard not to join in on the fun. We are thankful to have Jordan at PK and look forward to see all that he accomplishes in the future!

Heidi Martinez is one of our youngest members that leaves a big impact at Pro Kids! Heidi attends many events here at PK and we can always expect her to be kind and courteous when she arrives. Her ability to remain composed and calm even while in a room full of peers a lot older (and sometimes louder) than her is impressive. Heidi handles obstacles with poise and a maturity that is remarkable for her 7 years of age. She is always helpful to staff, making sure to announce the arrival of her classmates at the start of the day, and the arrival of parents at the end of the night. And during free play, she can even be found settling friendly disputes at the Tetherball court. Beyond her quiet demeanor, Heidi is a good and fair friend that shares laughs with everyone. We look forward to seeing Heidi’s growth here at Pro Kids!

Our member of the month is Yasindu! This Level 3 member first joined Pro Kids at age 7 and is now a junior in high school. Yasindu has been attending college prep workshops and college visits with Ms. Amber to gear up for his senior year. Yasindu is an extremely dedicated student, and has been coding, creating, and building for many years. He enjoys math and science, and hopes to study mechanical engineering in the future. In his free time he loves reading, especially Harry Potter, and creating 3D print designs. Yasindu is kind, courteous, humble, and hardworking. He is always willing to lend a hand to others when he is at PK, and he has a great sense of humor. We can’t wait to see what great things lie ahead for you Yasindu!

The Oceanside December 2022 Member of the Month is Nina! Nina is in 6^th grade and has shown a level of determination that is admirable for someone her age. She has faced the challenges of starting at a new school and navigating the middle school world with patience and calm perseverance. But, it is her hidden creativity that we recognize her for this month! The only participant to complete the Foodless Gingerbread House challenge, Nina proved herself to be quite the talented engineer and architect. Her project came complete with two stories and even working lights! We are beyond proud of this young lady’s creativity skills but more importantly, her unerring kindness to others. Nina is a true friend to the other members here at Pro Kids and the middle school classroom wouldn’t be the same without her. Congratulations again on being our December 2022 Member of the Month, Nina! Keep of the good work!
