Support our school with a gift to the Crossroads Fund! 

So much of the Crossroads experience that our children greatly benefit from wouldn’t be possible without the Crossroads Fund and the financial support of generous community members like you.

Your gift to the Crossroads Fund supports:

• Curriculum and program development.
• CAPA and the many community-building events hosted annually.
• Faculty recruitment and retention through professional development opportunities and teaching resources.
• Outdoor education, community service, and student field trips. 
• Our robust arts, physical education, and music programs.
• And much more!

Please consider making a donation to the Crossroads Fund today.

Kindergarten Pajama Drive

As we head into November and begin focusing on the virtues of gratitude and stewardship, many of our classes will begin a service project. Our youngest students are excited to invite you to contribute to their "Great Bedtime Pajama Drive!" Kindergartners are looking for brand-new pajamas in all sizes for any season. The drive is sponsored by Scholastic Book Clubs, and for every pair of pajamas donated, SBC will donate a brand-new book to Pajama Program to give to a child facing adversity. Our kindergartners are so excited to make a difference in another child's life. Please send all donations to the school by November 30.
