Crosby Scholars 9th/10th Newsletter
November
“We should just be thankful for being together,
I think that’s what they mean by Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown.”
The Spirit of Thanksgiving brings the Spirit of Giving.
Gratitude is something we can all add more of to our lives, and it may even help us in the long run. Studies show that people who practice thankfulness and gratitude have happier lives, and live longer! Here at Crosby Scholars, we want gratitude and giving to be something cultivated with our students. This is why we have a Community Service Requirement! There are many ways to give back to your community- You can help an elderly neighbor, volunteer with a church, assist at a local food bank, or event ask Faculty/Staff what they need help with. Community Service is anything done as Volunteer Work (unpaid), and is a great way to lend a helping hand.

NACAC- Virtual College Fair *Nov. 12 *1-6 pm
https://www.nacacattend.org/23VirtualNov12
Tips for making your college fair experience productive and fun:
1) Representatives from each college will be waiting to meet you! Make sure you are ready to put your best foot forward and interact with reps when visiting college booths! Not sure what to say? Here are some suggestions:
- What do students like/dislike most about your school?
- What kinds of students are happiest at your school?
- What is the average amount of student loan debt for graduates?
- If I am awarded a grant or scholarship, can I expect it to remain constant all four years (assuming my financial circumstances don’t change)?
2) Don't sweat the small stuff!
Everyone is at a different stage in their college search process. Keep an open mind and enjoy yourself. These events are all about helping you connect and learn about lots of colleges to make sure you land at your dream school by having a quick video chat with a rep, dropping in on some virtual presentations and/or sending a question through chat.
You are still young in the process of exploring, so have fun with it!
