School counselors share many resources with students. Students also learn about emergency/crisis resources during their marking period of Health each school year. We wanted to take a moment to share these resources with parents/guardians so that you have them as well.

Congratulations to 8th grader Brooke Aja for being the Crofton Middle School nominee for the Carson Scholarship. The Carson Scholars Fund awards $1,000 college scholarships to students in grades 4-11 who excel academically and are dedicated to serving their communities. Scholarship winners receive the honor of being named “Carson Scholars” and are awarded an Olympic-sized medal and a trophy for their school to celebrate their accomplishments. Carson Scholars must have a minimum GPA of 3.75 and display humanitarian qualities through community service. Scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of academic achievement and humanitarian qualities, without regard to financial need, ethnicity, creed or religion.

Students are not to bring outside food or drinks to school, nor have it dropped off for them. This includes fast food and/or drinks (such as Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, or sodas). Students can pack a lunch and certainly include leftovers, but we don't want deliveries of outside food to the school during breakfast or lunchtime. This doesn't include bringing your student their lunch box if they forget it.
