Note from Jean Behnke
Dear Parents, 

Here at Crossroads our motto is Strong Minds, Kind Hearts. But that doesn’t really capture everything that makes this school so special, does it? As I think about the role of the arts in our program, I think about how they fall into both categories. They support the development of both strong minds and kind hearts, but they also do so much more. 
General Updates
MONDAY Morning Coffee on us!

Let the Crossroads staff serve you at drop-off on Monday, May 3!

Pick up a cup of Starbucks Coffee and a Homemade Muffin from Blue Sparrow Kitchen, served to you with gratitude from our teachers and staff members- directly through your car window.

All COVID protocols will be followed.
Ramadan Mubarak! Happy Ramadan!

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar in which healthy/able adults and teenagers fast from food and drink during the daylight hours. Children usually partake in good deeds like donating used clothes, toys, and books to those in need. Fasting all month also has the effect of reminding us that there are always people in our own communities who do not have enough to eat.

Read more about how the Lower School at Crossroads will celebrate with a food drive in the coming weeks.
Summer Updates
Crossroads Summer Program!

Crossroads Academy Summer Programs will begin on June 21 and run through August 13, 2021. Visit our website or email summer@crossroadsacademy.org if you are interested in signing up for any of our one-week programs this summer.

We encourage you to spread the word to your friends who may be seeking new summer opportunities!
Parent Association Updates
Community Connections

Being a member of the Crossroads community is truly special. Since we cannot, at this time, gather together to meet and share stories, the Parent Association has developed a "Crossroads Connections" series in which families will be introduced through interviews each week.

This week, we introduce you to:


Parent Name: Erik Griffin and Tara Suntoke
Crossroads Students: Sophie in fifth grade and Max in third grade.
At Crossroads Since: 2017

Support the Crossroads Fund
EVERY GIFT MATTERS!

Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the enduring spirit of our community! Thank you for all your gifts to the Crossroads Fund 2021

If you haven't made your gift this year, It’s not too late to join us in supporting Strong Minds, Kind Hearts. Help us reach our goal of 100% participation. Click here to donate today!

Why is your participation so important?
High participation is a huge vote of confidence, an important sign that virtually all parents invest in their children’s welfare and support the school’s mission. This percentage can also have an impact on gifts from outside sources; most foundations consider parent participation rates before donating funds to a school. EVERY GIFT MATTERS.
