Thank you to all of the parents who helped with makeup, photography, set, and costumes.  A special thank you to Mary Chollet O'Neal for organizing and laundering the costumes. What a great few days for the 6th grade, and a fantastic last performance for Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Nelson.  It will be hard to top this year's Aladdin!  Thank you, Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Nelson, for all you have poured into our children over the years. 


Field Day

Erin McElroy and Carolyn Parker for chairing, and Lindsey Henig and Meghan Henig for co-chairing.  The weather was PERFECT and the new games were so much fun. The teacher race was definitely a highlight for everyone!  

Thank you to Jeff Hickham for leading the relay races with such great energy and enthusiasm.  The kids had a blast thanks to you and your megaphone magic.  You made the job easy for Lindsey Henig in the afternoon shift! 

Thank you to all of the parent volunteers that helped with Field Day.  From homemade treats in the hospitality room to managing inflatables and gym games, we couldn't have done it without you!  


6th Grade Committee

Thank you to chair, Katie Bee Marshall, and her committee:  Harris McCloud, Jennifer McDaniel, Katie McNeil, Betsy Stuermann, and Stacy Townsend.  Y'all made their last year at Crestline so special and memorable with all of the "extras" throughout the year.  

Thank you to Kelley Norwood, Ann Bailey White, and their committee for making the 6th Grade Recognition special for our 6th grade families and students.  


PTO President

Lastly, thank you to Jessica Donald for serving as our PTO President this year.  We are thankful for your dedication, leadership, and all of the heart you put into making our Crestline family stronger this year.  Your support has made a lasting difference to our students, staff, and families-thank you for everything you do!
