Crosby Junior Newsletter
August
Junior Year Is Right Around The Corner!
Academies:
Crosby Scholars will host all academies through the Zoom platform this year unless otherwise notified.
Community Service:
The Community Service requirement remains fluid due to social distancing restrictions. We are working diligently to provide safe and/or virtual service opportunities. We will notify you of those plans when they are made available.
New this year:
- We will also offer Monthly Check-in opportunities with your Crosby Outreach Specialist each month starting in September.
- Crosby Clubs will be hosted monthly by each grade level. We will host small group sessions with grade related topics via Zoom. This will be short and engaging!
If you have any questions, contact your Crosby Outreach Specialist.
We look forward to working with you all this year!
