Recently 250 Brookville Elementary students joined Crestline Elementary classes to hear famous authors, illustrators and musicians discuss their crafts. Aside from musicians Lee Hurley and Friends, visiting authors at Celebrate Writing Day this year included Dan Elish, Cyd Moore, Kevin O’Malley, Rick Shelton and Ashley Wolff.
This was the first year for Crestline to host its partner school, Brookville Elementary, for the event. Throughout the year, Crestline students collected items such as health room supplies, non-perishable food, shoes, socks, cleaning supplies, books and toys. Faculty, parents and the CES Student Council delivered these items to Brookville Elementary School. Additionally, some Crestline students had pen pals at Brookville.
