Crestline Boosterthon Fun Run--COMING SOON!

Our two week program kicks off with a pep rally on September 17th. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps). This year our goal is to raise $55,000 for Fundraising Item(s) and we need your help! We have asked the experts at Boosterthon to power our fundraiser to bring fitness, character and fun to this year’s fundraiser. Students will also experience an amazing character theme: MINDSPARK! WILD WEST!

Booster’s most exciting theme yet combines S.T.E.A.M. Skills (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) with character building. This year our students will learn five character traits that will help strengthen themselves and our world. Donations will go toward fundraising item(s) and the entire two week experience. Please help our school by getting pledges from family and friends and entering them on FUNRUN.COM. Also, all of our families are invited to come out and cheer on our students at the Crestline Fun Run. Thanks so much for your support! If you have any questions, please contact Leslie Corts or Natalie Arendall.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Throughout the year, the Crestline students collect various supplies from our sister school- Brookville Elementary in Graysville, Alabama. The supplies are gathered and delivered to Brookville by the student council and/or PTO Community Outreach Committee. For our first collection of the school year, all Kindergarten students are requested to bring Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, and/or Kleenx. Collection dates are September 16-20.

CRESTLINE LIBRARY: The Crestline Library relies on parent volunteers to help shelve books that checked in each week. Volunteering in the library is a flexible commitment and is an easy way to get involved. The librarians are so appreciative of the support that comes from the volunteers! Sign up to help HERE

BOXTOPS: Boxtops will be moving to all digital submissions soon. There will be more to come on how to submit those in next month’s ENews. For now, please send in all of the Boxtops you clipped over the summer. You can submit them to your homeroom teacher.
