Preschool at the Chapel of the Cross’ 50th Anniversary Preschool at the Chapel of the Cross celebrated its 50th anniversary (technically now its 51st due to multiple pandemic-related postponements of the commemoration) on April 29. Parents, teachers and alumni from throughout the years gathered at The Chapel of the Cross for the event, which featured barbecue from The Pig, Carolina Brewery beer, a silent auction and music by DJlicious. The celebration also provided an opportunity for PCC staff to honor Executive Director Laura Gelblum, who will retire at the end of July after 39 years with the school.
