CONGRATULATIONS MRS. KING!
Laurie King has been named the 2015 National Distinguished Principal
for Alabama. This is a wonderful honor and we are so proud of her! She
was one of three finalists from the state of Alabama and a panel of
judges visited our school on Wednesday to meet with students, teachers,
staff, parents, and community members. It was a wonderful day to show
off our school and talk about all the great things that happen at Crestline.
Please join us in celebrating Laurie’s tremendous accomplishment!
The National Distinguished Principals program honors outstanding
elementary and middle-level administrators who ensure that America's
children acquire a sound foundation for lifelong learning and
achievement. The program was established in 1984 to recognize and
celebrate elementary and middle-level principals who set high standards
for instruction, student achievement, character, and climate for the
students, families, and staffs in their learning communities.
Each year, NAESP congratulates principals from across the nation in
both public and private schools and schools from the United States
Departments of Defense Office of Educational Activity and the
United States Department of State Office of Overseas Schools for their
exemplary achievements.
Mrs. King will attend an awards ceremony in Washington D.C. in
October along with the state winners from the other states. Please join
me in celebrating Laurie’s tremendous accomplishment!
PTO OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEXT YEAR
It is time once again for the PTO to start planning for next year. We
are gearing up for another great year at Crestline and we need some
volunteer leaders to help our PTO events run smoothly. Click here for
the link which will take you to the "willingness to serve" form. Please
indicate if you would be willing to chair or co-chair a committee next
year. Once we get our chairs/co-chairs committed we will send out
another email in April to ask for committee volunteers! Whether you
serve as a "Chief" or an "Indian" we need you at Crestline! For more
information on the different committees there are at Crestline click here.
All this information can also be found on the Cougar PTO website under
