Lifetime Membership Nomination Request

It's that time of the year where we need to nominate 4 amazing people from Preston for the Lifetime Membership Awards. This is one of the highest honors presented to an individual for their outstanding service to our children at Preston. I encourage you all to take 5 minutes and click on this link and nominate 2 staff and 2 volunteers. This is a great way to recognize an individual who you feel goes above and beyond for our children and school. Surveys are due on or before 2/26. If you have any questions please contact Payal.  Thank you!!

Nomination of Officers for 2021-2022 PTA Board

The Preston Elementary PTA is looking for leaders to support our amazing school. Please consider donating your time and talents. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else as an officer to the 2021-2022 PTA Board please click HERE. Nominations are due by March 10th. 

Volunteer Opportunities are back!!

As you may have heard, the district has given the green light to invite volunteers back on campus in a limited capacity. For our school, this means we are going to have 1 person each day volunteer to help in both the library and copy room.  See the sign up for the Library & Copy Room Volunteer.

As spots are limited, please sign up for only one shift right now, to allow for multiple volunteers. If you have general questions or comments about volunteering you can reach out to Mrs. Lemons and Mrs. Tennison through the Preston Parent Q&A Form.

Preston Virtual Art Show Coming Soon...

At Home Learner Art Work is due TODAY February 22.  Please turn art work into the turn in bin by the front door of the school.


We will be hosting our annual art show virtually this year.  Mark your calendars, the art show will run from: 

March 22-March 31st  

**Did you know that parents are not the only ones who can buy art?  With our new virtual option it has never been easier for grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends to purchase a one-of-a-kind framed reproduction of your child's art work! 

Snow Pictures

Though it was a crazy week with no power, no heat, and for some, no water, we know most kids made the best of it and enjoyed the snow.  Please share your pictures, so we can share!
