APRIL EVENTS
SPRING BOOK FAIR

We’re excited to announce our Crestline Spring Book Fair! This year, we’re offering popular new titles as well as modern classics (think: summer reading!) along with fun items like bookmarks and pencils—perfect for stocking up for the summer months!


When: Wednesday, April 16—Friday, April 18

Who: Open to Preschool through 5th grade

Details: Be on the lookout for specific times and dates from your child’s teacher.


Stay tuned for details about Scholastic’s E-Wallet program, which allows parents and grandparents to add money online for fair shopping! Our Spring Book Fair is a great opportunity to encourage your child’s love of reading and support our school at the same time.

CRESTLINE'S GOT TALENT RECAP

Crestline's Got Talent was a true celebration of our students’ creativity, courage, and showmanship! With 18 acts and 23 students participating, the show featured everything from music and dance to comedy and unique talents that kept the crowd entertained from start to finish.

A big shoutout to our 6th grade emcees, Garrett Roden and Emmy Hartsfield, who guided the show with confidence and charm. We’re also grateful to the 6th grade stage crew whose behind-the-scenes work helped everything run smoothly! One thing is for certain, Crestline has got some talent! 

DRIVE-THRU SPORTSWEAR PICKUP 4/17

Sportswear Pickup—This Thursday (4/17)! Swing by our drive-thru sportswear pickup on Thursday, April 17th, from 8:00–9:15 AM or 1:00–2:15 PM in the teachers’ parking lot on Vine Street (that lot behind the pickleball courts). 

Any items not picked up during these times will be sent home in your child’s backpack on Friday. Please note that we are not responsible for lost items, and if you're planning to surprise someone with a gift, we can’t promise to keep it a secret once it goes home with your child!
