DECEMBER EVENTS
GRAND CIRCLE LUNCHEON

Last Friday, we had the joy of welcoming 228 Grand Circle donors to Crestline for a memorable lunch with over 200 of their grandchildren! Guests enjoyed delicious meals from Lunchbox Express and Chick-fil-A, and captured memories in our fun photo booth. Before departing, donors had an opportunity to shop at the Book Fair with their grandchildren.  

We are so grateful for the generosity of our Grand Circle donors, who play a vital role in making Crestline a truly special place to learn and grow. Take a look at some highlights from this wonderful day below!

BROOKVILLE HOLIDAY HELPERES
Save the Date for Holiday Helpers!

Each year, Crestline has the opportunity to serve our sister school, Brookville Elementary in Graysville, AL, through our Holiday Helpers program. Every classroom should have received a SignUp Genius with opportunities to donate clothing, toys, and other gifts. 

This year, for the first time, there was an overwhelming request for food from the Brookville families. Several classrooms, therefore, will have the opportunity to donate food, which will be sent home with Brookville families in need over the holiday break. There will not be a Venmo option this year, but there is an option to donate WalMart gift cards. 

Please label all items (except food) with the code listed on the class SignUp Genius and return them to your child's classroom by Tuesday, December 10, 2024. Shop local or early to avoid shipping delays! THANK YOU for helping teach our Cougars to SERVE!
