Crestline, YOU showed up and showed out for the Cougar Bash!  Faculty and staff, your presence at the event was beyond amazing!  Parents, thank you for your generous support of our faculty and staff.  Thank you for your enthusiasm for and at the event. What a fun night to remember!  

A HUGE thank you goes out to event chairs Lauren Rice and Caroline Poellnitz for bringing the idea of Cougar Bash to life and spending countless hours to make sure that every detail was covered.  Their dedication and creativity are greatly appreciated!  Thank you also to Sarah Peinhardt and Emily Tomlinson for all of their amazing work with decorations, including the showstopper giant moss boot!

Crestline went back to the 80’s last week to celebrate our totally tubular teachers and staff!  From Manic Monday to Super Fresh Friday, they were treated to breakfasts, lunch coverage, a snack bar, a coffee cart, and a luncheon with massages to cap things off.  We couldn’t have pulled off this maxin’ and relaxin’ week without all of our Crestline parents and students who celebrated everyone with notes and favorite things!

The Crestline PTO is so thankful for the wonderful efforts of Mary Chollet O’Neal, Katherine Naramore, Allyson Fox, Amanda Pridgen, Louise Price, Tiffany Linn, Marian Northington, and their Teacher & Staff Appreciation Committee.  They worked tirelessly to organize and execute a thoughtful and special week of recognizing our teachers and staff.  They decorated our school in radical 80’s style and treated our exceptional faculty and staff to treats all week! This special week was such a success because of ALL the hands that come together. Every volunteer showed up to help cover classes. We have a fantastic and supportive school community!
