BLOOD DRIVE A HUGE SUCCESS!

"Last Friday the STRONG showed out in Cougar Strong! More than 80 faculty, staff, parents and community members registered to give blood.  I am so proud of our Cougar family. We more than doubled last year's turnout. 

This drive was put together to honor law enforcement and you did exactly that! Thank you to our administration team and the fabulous PTO for all they did to help make this drive a huge success."

-Corporal Glen White

 

CRESTLINE JINGLE JAM

Our first ever Jingle Jam on Friday, December 18th was a huge hit! Thanks to the hard work of our fabulous music teachers, Laura Butler and Janet Nelson, all Crestline students had the chance to gather (socially distanced) on the field for festive holiday cheer.

MBCS Foundation

Your gift to the Foundation will be invested in an Endowment Fund that is managed by a group of professional investment advisors. The endowment’s spending and investment policies are continually monitored by the Foundation’s Board of Directors to ensure a proper balance between the Foundation’s near-term income needs and long-term growth objectives.
 

 Mountain Brook City Schools

Here is a link to the Alabama K-12 COVID-19 School Dashboard .

The dashboard was developed collaboratively by the Alabama Department of Public Health and Alabama State Department of Education to provide a statewide view of COVID-19 cases and operating statuses in the K-12 setting. It reports weekly positive case counts for individual districts and will update each Friday.
