As part of a study on linguistics, Shadi’s anthropology students compiled a Crossroads dictionary of terms specific to (or with specific meaning to) our community. Shadi and her class shared their quick brainstorm as a reminder of our great community (even when apart during virtual learning). Suggestions welcome! Good Work — an event that takes place 3-4 times every year...

On Saturday, February 22, members of the Crossroads school community gathered for the (UN)GALA, a community-wide party to support scholarships. Attendees heard from senior Meg Corbett, who reflected on Crossroads’ impact on her.  As a senior, I’ve spent many stressful weeks laboring over a college essay that would hopefully drop jaws and have the admissions offices click “accept.” In doing...

In just her first days as Crossroads’ new music teacher, Marschnee Strong was approached by students sharing their music experiences with her, including instruments played and compositions written. She even heard from a number of faculty about their work as performers. “It’s clear to me that we’re a very creative community,” she says. Marschnee received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees...

Beginning this Thursday, Crossroads transforms into the Kit Kat Klub for a thoughtful, and anything-but-ordinary, performance of Cabaret. True to the Crossroads ethos of everyone having a voice, a place, and something to contribute, the musical knits together the talents and perspectives of our school community, with nearly 50 students taking part in the conception and execution of the musical...

This always catches my attention at this time of year; in both the physical and metaphorical senses, they have grown and we can see the evidence. The end of the school year can challenge our focus, but as I moved through the...

Friday, December 1, 2017 and Saturday, December, 2, 2017 For the last seven years, Crossroads has held our Book Fair at Left Bank Books in the Central West End. We especially appreciate the partnership because Left Bank and it’s leadership are committed to social justice — not to mention it’s an excellent independent bookstore with knowledgeable booksellers. How it works: 1)...

“A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest [people].” —Roald Dahl Friends, Today is the eighth year that students have designed, constructed, enjoyed, and torn down a Crossroads-sized carnival on campus. “Double Rainbow” is a fun, student-driven tradition — one of the ways we connect, play, and celebrate as a community. Double Rainbow helps us connect by creating...

Friends, I am looking forward to the fun activities that are a part of the last two months of school: prom, athletic events, our spring musical, awards day, field day, graduation, and others. As much as I am looking forward to these fun and important events, I know that they can diffuse our focus. I have been reminding students this...
