The extraordinary Mary Ann Cummins, who has taught music at Crossroads since we opened our doors in 1971, was profiled in a beautiful piece in the Los Angeles Times. We are grateful for her decades of dedication to our students!

"It fills me," Mary Ann Cummins says of her job as a music teacher, and at 93, she's not done.

It was a Parent Association Spring Event Fundraiser for the books! The musical tour de force “Cabaret: The Eras Tour” was made possible thanks to hundreds of student, employee and parent performers; our dedicated event co-chairs and volunteers; and the extraordinary talents behind the scenes, led by writer and director Mickey Blaine. Best of all, Sunday’s event raised critical funds for the school’s Affordability Program, thanks to the immense generosity of the Crossroads community. A tremendous thank you to everyone who made “Cabaret” a smashing success!
