Preston HS Mother Daughter Brunch Mad Science Workshop at St. Raymond Elementary
Preston High School students and
their mothers gathered at Marina del
Rey for the Mother Daughter Brunch
on March 5. The special bond, love and
friendship between mother and daughter
as they prepare to move on to college,
was honored with roses. The fun filled
afternoon consisted of a few games, lots
of dancing and prizes for all.
Mad Science held a workshop for the youngest students on March 14 at St. Raymond
Elementary School. At the event, students had fun learning about mixtures, participated
in activities, watching a volcano erupt, and completed the workshop with their
own modeling clay to take home.
