These funds will go directly toward enhancing student learning at Crossroads Day School. Earlier this year, Crossroads' principal, Don Maskill, delivered a presentation to the leadership class telling them that, if Crossroads was selected, the money would be used for PBIS initiatives, microscopes for science class, resources for the library, field trips, and more. He stated that he'd also love to add a flagpole and flag by the girls' school.
