Note from Jean Behnke
Dear Parents, 

I have heard it said that the only thing we can control is ourselves. (Lesson number 1 for me, I can only control myself). I believe this, but I have to keep relearning this lesson over and over. I try to share this wisdom with our students, and, like me, they internalize this truism slowly and with lots of practice. And life gives us lots of practice to learn this and all lessons.
Health Office Updates
As of yesterday, Grafton county has 118 identified active cases of COVID-19. Lyme has zero active cases, Hanover has 29 active cases, and Lebanon has 11 active cases. 
New Hampshire Vaccine Information

This week, all New Hampshire residents 16+ may register and schedule COVID vaccine.

For Vermont families, please visit the vaccine portal at healthvermont.gov for up-to-date vaccine information. Beginning at 8:15 a.m. on Monday, March 29, Vermonters age 50 and older and those 16+ with comorbid health conditions will be able to make an appointment for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Summer Updates
Crossroads Summer Program!

Beginning the week of June 21, there will be a series of one-week programs offered for children ages 5-8 and 9-13. Crossroads faculty will offer a wide range of programs to discover new interests and deepen student learning. Interested in acting with Ms. Hickox? How about music exploration with Ms. O'Leary? While there are already many offerings listed on our website, new listings will be added regularly over the next few weeks. Daily programs run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Please note: Due to COVID restrictions, we will not be offering before and aftercare this summer. 
 
Email summer@crossroadsacademy.org with any questions, and share this information with your friends. Summer Programs are a great way for new families to experience Crossroads!
Parent Association Updates

Parent Name: Adrienne and Dan Peraza
Crossroads Students: Lucia in sixth grade, Nicholas in fourth grade, and Cecilia in second grade.
At Crossroads Since: 2020

Upcoming Business Meeting

On Tuesday, April 6 at 7:00pm, please join us to vote on a petition for Imagination Playground Blocks to help augment the current outdoor recess space.
