October Middle School Newsletter

My name is Miss Cross and I am the new fifth grade ELA/Science teacher at Corinth Middle School. I just moved to upstate this summer after growing up and living in the suburbs of Philadelphia PA my whole life! I graduated in 2019 from Syracuse University where I played lacrosse all 4 years and just wrapped up my 4th season of coaching at Cabrini University, a college in Pennsylvania! I am a huge Philadelphia sports fan (go birds) and love spending time with my parents, 3 older sisters, their growing families, and my black lab Harry! I have loved my time at Corinth so far and am so excited for the year ahead!! Go Riverhawks!
