The Pupdate

Week in Review

Hello Prestonwood Families,

It was a very short week—just one day of school thanks to our snow days—but it was a great one! We had so much fun celebrating our 100th Day of School, and the students truly made it special with their posters and shirts.

Even though the week was short, we have a lot of great things coming up in February. Please take a moment to review the February calendar below and note two important upcoming events:

Our School Dance on February 7th — free for all students
Black History Month Talent Show on February 27th

More details can be found in the flyers below. We look forward to a fun and event-filled month ahead!

Best,

Adriana Low
Assistant Principal
