unication, Anger
Management, and Goal Setting. The Academy also includes an appropriate grade
level video discussion.
Saturday Academies are usually scheduled on four Saturdays in January or
February. (Scheduling is sometimes affected by weather or school events.) The
Middle School Crosby Scholars are required to attend one Saturday Academy for
the year.
CAREER DAY
Career Day is a unique experience where students are introduced to a wide
range of careers. Eligible Crosby Scholars learn about potential jobs and
the academic preparation required for those jobs. Career Day is expected to
help the student with the following tasks:
-
Begin to identify possible career interests.
-
Gain an awareness of the academic, technical, and personal skills required by
particular jobs.
-
Understand the connection between school, work, and achieving goals.
-
Help develop realistic educational plans to achieve career goals.
*Eligibility: Middle School Scholars who successfully complete
sixth and seventh grade as Crosby Scholars and are in good standing with the
Program as eighth graders.
SUMMER COLLEGE CAMPUS TOUR
The College Bus Trip is an exciting early awareness activity that is available
to all rising eighth grade Crosby Scholars. Students learn about different
types of educational institutions, and they will be able to tour two or three
area college campuses and ask questions of college students and faculty. By
taking advantage of this opportunity, students learn the benefit of
successfully preparing for post secondary education.
