Supporting STEM
Have your children told you about any of the tools we are using at school to support STEM learning?
The links below are to materials that we use to support learning at Crestline. They would make great Christmas presents! Each time a purchase is made through the links below, Crestline receives a credit to purchase more materials for use at school.
OSMO (iPad Required)
Students LOVE these games! We use Words, Numbers, Tangram, Pizza Company, and Detective Agency at school. The first 5 people to use the link below will receive $5 off their purchase and Crestline gets a $10 credit.

Kiwi Crates
These kits are AMAZING! They can be set up to be delivered monthly to your children (Ages 0 – 104!). There are different themes – some are geared toward Art and Discovery while others are more about Engineering and Problem Solving. They offer kits for school use as well! We each get a $10 credit when you use the link below.

Planet Fundraiser
Did you know that Piggly Wiggly gives back 3% of all purchases to Crestline through Planet Fundraiser? Or that Taco Mama and Otey’s also give 3%? And that’s just a sampling of local merchants who are on Planet Fundraiser. Are you using the Planet Fundraiser app yet? It couldn’t be easier to give back to CES by shopping and eating at establishments you already visit. You can even link your credit card so you never miss a purchase. New merchants are added all the time. Download the app, then Shop, Snap and Give - back to Crestline!
Spartan Shuttle
The Spartan Shuttle, a 3 month free pilot program for a Village Circulator, is now up and running! The "Spartan Shuttle" will run Monday-Saturday 9am-7pm and will run through English, Mountain Brook, and Crestline Villages. Visit https://mtnbrookchamber.org/spartan-shuttle for more info! Hop on, skip parking, and post your pictures to #spartanride...a different winner will be picked each week to win $25 in Village Gold!
A very special THANK YOU to:
