Prestwick Profile - Community Vol. 33 April 8th
Volunteer Appreciation Week
Often when I am asked what makes Prestwick unique and my first answer is that our community rallies like no other to do what is best for students. It is honestly like nothing I have seen. We look forward to our continued partnership with you.
If you have served in any of these capacities please join us for a Volunteer Breakfast hosted by our teacher this week.
Friday, April 12th from 8:00-8:30 in our cafe
Please come by and enjoy a small token of our appreciation
