Crestline Sportswear Sale!

The Crestline sportswear sale is LIVE online at www.bandwagonsports.com/crestline! Shop online from August 19, 2024, to August 30, 2024, and in person at the Crestline Welcome Back Nights next week! Online items will be available for pickup at Bandwagon’s Cahaba Heights Location.


We would like to recognize Lindsey Mobley, mother of Mae (5th), Cooper (2nd), and Helen (3 years old), who played a significant role in designing these wonderful pieces for our Crestline Elementary community. Lindsey's creativity and passion for bringing joy to the school through her designs will always be remembered. Her spirit touched us all, and we are grateful for her beautiful legacy. While she couldn't see this to fruition, this was part of her vision, and we know she would be proud.

Crestline 101

Please mark your calendars for Friday, August 23, and join us at Crestline Elementary in the Auditorium to learn and discuss all things Crestline. Whether you're new to Crestline or need a refresh, this is a great opportunity to connect, ask questions, and get up to speed. 


We hope to see you there!

One of the best ways to get involved at Crestline Elementary is through volunteering with the PTO. All of our parents have amazing gifts, and there are volunteer opportunities for everyone and every schedule. 

Please consider sharing your time and talents with the PTO during the 2024-25 school year.

Mountain Brook City Schools Foundation

Make a difference and give to the Mountain Brook City School's Foundation. Technology is constantly changing, and it is the Foundation’s goal to keep Mountain Brook Schools ahead of the curve.  For the 2024-2025 school year, the Foundation allocated $263,737 for learning tools such as Chromebooks for all Mountain Brook teachers and a new website for the school system.  For more information about the Foundation’s investment in technology and its most recent grant, please visit www.MBGives.org.  

Your tax-deductible contribution is an investment that allows Mountain Brook Schools to be leaders in education. Valued at over $12 million, the Foundation’s Endowment Fund makes it possible to assist in filling the gap between government funding and the schools’ technological, professional development, and library enhancement needs.
