Crosby Junior Newsletter
November- Class of 2025
๐ Fall-tastic Greetings, Juniors! ๐
Autumn is here, and while you might be buried in projects and assignments, don't forget to embrace the season with a smile (or a chuckle)! Here are some punny fall thoughts just for you:
1. "Why did the math book look forward to autumn? It had too many problems to solve!" ๐๐
2. "What did one leaf say to the other? I'm falling for you!" ๐โค๏ธ
3.. "What do you call a tree that gives you a high-five? A palm tree!" ๐ด๐ค
4. "Why did the broom make a great high school student? Because it always swept up knowledge!" ๐๐งน
5. "What's the best time for a squirrel to go to school? Nutcracker time!" ๐ฟ๏ธ๐
As you navigate through the maze of high school adventures, remember to enjoy the little moments and share a laugh or two. Keep rocking this school year with a side of pumpkin spice and a dash of humor!
Stay leaf-tastically awesome,
Your Crosby High School Team๐๐

NACAC- Virtual College Fair *Nov. 12 *1-6 pm
https://www.nacacattend.org/23VirtualNov12
Tips for making your college fair experience productive and fun:
1) Representatives from each college will be waiting to meet you! Make sure you are ready to put your best foot forward and interact with reps when visiting college booths! Not sure what to say? Here are some suggestions:
- What do students like/dislike most about your school?
- What kinds of students are happiest at your school?
- What is the average amount of student loan debt for graduates?
- If I am awarded a grant or scholarship, can I expect it to remain constant all four years (assuming my financial circumstances donโt change)?
2) Make sure to reference your College Matchmakingโข email to connect with the schools that best align with your interests!
At the time of registration, you selected the attributes that were most important to you in a college. You then should have received an email that best matched specific colleges and universities to your criteria. Reference this email on the day of the fair to connect with your best fits!

3) Don't sweat the small stuff!
Everyone is at a different stage in their college search process. Keep an open mind and enjoy yourself. These events are all about helping you connect and learn about lots of colleges to make sure you land at your dream school by having a quick video chat with a rep, dropping in on some virtual presentations and/or sending a question through chat.
