Hello Hayley,

We are so glad to have you in the Crosby Scholars Class of 2025! Here's your September Newsletter with details about Junior Academy, fall College Fairs, and more!

When you have questions, we are here to help! Please contact the Senior Program team at seniorprogram@crosbyscholars.org or 336-725-5371.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Any APUSH or AP Euro scholars out there? Do you know the story of the "Keep calm and carry on" poster turned meme?

The British government printed these posters in 1939 as a way to keep public morale up during WWII among the fear of invasion. The posters were never used but a few survived and one was rediscovered in a bookstore in England in 2000 and it has been helping us keep calm ever since. (Read the full story here.

We hope your Junior year is free from warlike scenarios, but life can get busy and stressful fast.

Keep your cool. Ask for help. You can do it.
