Rauner Library Field Trip

Last week, Crossroads seventh graders visited the Rauner Library in Hanover, NH. There, students investigated historical memorabilia and related them to their recent classroom Core Knowledge units. Highlights included President John F. Kennedy's signature, Frost journal featuring the first line of "The Gift Outright", a manuscript of "The Gift Outright" on Dartmouth College stationary, Caleb Bingham's Columbian Orator (Frederick Douglass treasured this rhetoric textbook.), the first known draft of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" enclosed in a handwritten letter and signed by Robert Frost, JFK inaugural medallion, and original block prints for You Come Too. We're so grateful to have the opportunity to see these bits of history first-hand!

CAPA Good News!

Crossroads fifth grade student, Caroline Warrington and fourth grade student Max Melzer were back at it this winter! This time, they conquered the ice rink rather than the baseball diamond. Their Hanover Wild hockey team wrapped up a fabulous season in which they tied for first place in the Granite State League, earned a state championship in the year-end tournament, and finished in the top half of the New England regional tournament.

CAPA Spring Fling

The Crossroads Academy Parent Association invites you to gather on the activities field behind Bancroft for an afternoon of spring activities, and a walk (or run) through the Hoopes Loop trail on Wednesday, April 27 at 2:15 p.m.

March Madness: Pajama Day!

We wrapped up our chilly month of March with a cozy day in our jammies. It was so fun to see everyone in their favorite pajamas!

Crossroads Hiring Process

Whenever Crossroads has open teaching positions, we post them on our school website and often post them on AISNE. We also send them to individuals with deep and wide connections to alumni networks of underrepresented applicants. Internal candidates are welcome to apply should they be interested and should their qualifications match the position. Just like admissions at Crossroads, word of mouth is our best advertising! If you know an individual who would be a good addition to our team, please send them our way!

April Virtues:

• Self-Control is stopping to think about my actions before I enact them.
