Quote of the Week
--Staying positive doesn't mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that even on hard days you know that there are better days coming.
On April 1 Crossroads students participated in an Easter Egg Hunt provided by the staff. Ms. Garner started the hunt with an empty field as an April Fools joke. The students then moved to the football field where the eggs were actually ready. Afterward, staff gave out confetti eggs. Staff and students crushed eggs and spread confetti and fun before the holiday weekend.
