Friends, I’ve spent a great deal of time the last few days thinking about the shooting that occurred in Orlando, Florida. I am grieved and frightened to be writing again about the deaths of innocent folks in places that are supposed to be safe for them. I continue to feel small in comparison to the systems of fear and violence that...

“Is Crossroads even a real school?” Whenever I talk to any student outside of crossroads I get this question, I mean could you blame them, what other school does a voodoo chant whenever they need to wish a student good vibes. But when I hear that question I say “crossroads is more than just a “real” school, it’s a home.”...

  President Obama once mentioned a crossroads as a place where differences of culture, religion, and conviction can coexist with friendship, civility, hospitality, and especially love. And, we are destined to get there here at Crossroads but it is the journey that has birthed growth in us all. We’ve had hard times and we’ve had great times and essentially, we...

  Good afternoon. Thank you all for joining us today on this incredible occasion. I like to win. You see, I’ve always been a competitive person, always comparing my skills to those of others. Crossroads coaxed me out of my comfort zone as they encouraged my peers and me to cultivate our own interests and abilities. At Crossroads, there is...

Small is an asset? More like small is a pain in my neck! Look, I know that that phrase encompasses one of the most quintessential, defining elements of our school, and you’re all probably thinking: Tova, what on Earth do you think you’re doing. But let’s face it, guys–being small can be hard sometimes. It can be hard when everyone...

Another year of Crossroads Athletics is completed and we are so proud of our student/athletes once again. We had some teams that had some outstanding seasons and performances. More importantly, we achieved what we set out to do every year; work hard, get better, be difficult to play against, and have fun. Memories are made every day on the fields...

Our new water bottle fillers have been installed! Thanks to the efforts of the ECO-ACT team of 2015-2016, our students, faculty, and staff can now easily fill their water bottles at two new filling stations. One is in the cafeteria and the other is across from the Black Box. Together, the students and over 20 different donors raised just over $2000...

Friends, Today I was speaking with some prospective parents, and I discovered that I was speaking at length about our students and graduates. I suppose I am feeling a bit sentimental as the school year ends. I am also very excited to join our faculty, staff, Board of Trustees, and families and friends to celebrate the 34th Graduation Ceremony for...

This year the seventh graders at Crossroads participated with 45 other schools in the Green Schools Quest and won 3rd place! We have a LEED Platinum building, but few of the students and staff knew about all of its green features. All 32 seventh graders researched and became experts on the sustainability aspects of our school then educated their peers...

Seven middle school students exhibited their science fair projects at Queeny Park on Wednesday April 27th. All of our students earned ribbons for their projects (and not the participation ribbons)! Congratulations to  Kyle Tomasula (Blue, Special Award), Catherine Birch (Blue), Quinn Cage (Blue), Meg Corbett and Maya Gregory (Red), Laya Young (Red) and Jena Denney (Green)....
