VETERANS DAY CELEBRATION

Join us for Crestline's Salute to Veterans Celebration Tour! This was a great way to honor our veterans last year, and we look forward to reminding our veterans how much we appreciate them.  Veterans will convene at Mountain Brook Baptist Church and drive by Crestline, while students and faculty cheer for them.  The parade is scheduled for Wednesday, November 10th, with a rain date of November 12th.  Veterans will gather at 9:15am and the parade will begin at 9:45am

Let's make this a big celebration!  Students of all grades can sponsor a veteran and ride in the parade with them.  Please invite a veteran (family or friend) and plan to drive him or her in the parade through Crestline. 

If you would like to honor a veteran, click here and complete the online form by Tuesday, October 19th so we can finalize plans and send more information to participants.  

For questions, please contact Carrie Powell (carolinepowellal@gmail.com) or Meghan Ratliff (meghanratliff@gmail.com).
