Preston High School transformed its halls and invited the community to
travel to the North Pole and visit Santa’s Winter Workshop on Dec. 11. Alumnae,
current teachers and community members joined for an afternoon of fun and
games. Santa brought gifts and children participated in carnival-style games,
cookie decorating and ornament making. Vendors were also present so attendees
were able to do some Christmas shopping while supporting local businesses.
