We hosted our annual Mother Daughter Brunch on Saturday February 8th!❤ The afternoon consisted of good food, dancing, games, raffles and more.

In recognition of February as Black History Month, Preston’s Leaders of Color Club celebrated the incredible achievements of famous Black women in history at our annual Black History Month showcase. The event not only highlighted influential figures like the Six Triple Eight Battalion✉️ in WWII and Rosa Parks, but also honored the impact of 🎓Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in empowering future leaders and explored the importance of the 13th Amendment in the ongoing fight for justice and equality. Through performances, presentations, and discussions, the showcase provided a powerful reminder of the resilience, strength, and legacy of Black women throughout history.

To spread warmth during this winter season, Compassion Connection members gathered to make 180 turkey and cheese sandwiches🍞🧀 for the hungry and 50 compassion packs with 🧤gloves, lip balms, combs and snacks for the unhoused.

In honor of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., today is observed as a Day of Service. At Preston, our mission is to inspire students to become compassionate leaders who drive positive change in the world. In the spirit of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s call to action, we strive to build a unified community. While our students engage in service throughout the year, we encourage everyone to treat today as "a day on, not a day off." Take this opportunity to perform an act of service in your community as a tribute to the Reverend's legacy.

Last week, we hosted alumnae from the Classes of 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 for the Young Alum Brunch!🎉 After enjoying some light refreshments, current seniors were able to ask the alumnae about the transition from high school to college, their majors and how to maintain balance in their studies and social life. Thanks to all the alumnae who joined us, we can't wait to see you all again soon! 🐾

"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh." Matthew 2: 1-2, 9-11
