0812 Crestline playground
Mountain Brook Schools Superintendant Dicky Barlow, Crestline Elementary Principal Laurie King, and the Crestline mascot were a part of the school’s playground dedication on August 21.
On August 7, Director of Facilities for Mountain Brook Schools Ken Key received a strange alert from a coworker at the Mountain Brook Board of Education’s Charles Mason Building. There was a life-size cougar mascot roaming the building. Upon investigation, Key discovered that the culprit was the new Crestline mascot being introduced to the faculty at their back to school meeting.
Last spring the Crestline sixth grade class of 2011-12 donated the necessary funds for Crestline to purchase a school mascot costume. The mascot was ordered over the summer and arrived just in time to meet teachers upon their return.
“We are so thankful for the mascot,” said Crestline Principal Laurie King. “We really feel like it will give students a chance to show their Crestline school spirit.”
Sixth grade students will be allowed to try out to serve as the mascot for their sixth grade year. The mascot will make appearances at school events such as Boosterthon Fun Run, Pumpkin Run, Cougar Chase and open houses.
