Dear PTSA Members and Families,
As we begin planning for the next school year, we are looking for volunteers to serve on the PTSA Board. Some of our current board members will be stepping down at the end of this year as their students move on from 8th grade, and we would love to welcome new faces to help continue supporting our school community.
Serving on the PTSA Board is a great way to stay involved, support our students and staff, and help shape the programs and activities that make our school special. No prior PTSA experience is required—just a willingness to help and collaborate with other parents and caregivers.
If you are interested in learning more about available board positions or would like to volunteer, please reach out to us directly at crosbymsptsapresident@gmail.com. We are happy to answer any questions and share more details about the roles.
Thank you for considering being part of the PTSA and for your continued support of our school.
PTSA membership is so important to what we do for all students. Please join us for the 2025/2026 school year by signing up for a membership. This has to be renewed each year for each PTA/PTSA.

✨ PEACE IN THE CHAOS | Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
JCPS families came together last week for an evening filled with food, games, and hands-on self-care resources designed to help everyone discover simple, meaningful ways to create inner peace. From laughter and connection to practical tools to take home, this event was all about caring for ourselves and each other.
Because when families feel supported, our whole community grows stronger.

Crosby Parents and Guardians,
Throughout February, Crosby Middle School was honored to host our Black History Month Speaker Series, bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world leadership for our Explore Pathway students. It was a privilege to welcome such distinguished professionals into our building to share their journeys and expertise with the next generation of Crosby leaders. Our students received powerful messages that extended beyond networking and professionalism, focusing deeply on the essential pillars of reliability and character.
These sessions provided our young people with a tangible roadmap for success, proving that technical skill must always be paired with personal integrity. We are incredibly grateful to our community partners for helping us ensure that Crosby remains a place where students are not just educated, but truly inspired.
