Princeton Nursery School (PNS) will hold its third annual Starry Starry Evening event on Feb. 6.

The virtual event from 7-8:10 pm. will feature CNBC’s Brian Sullivan as host and singer/songwriter Carly King, who is a Princeton native.

According to the school, the non-profit preschool, founded in 1929, provides year-round preschool and comprehensive support for children ages 2-and-a-half to 6 of working parents in the Mercer County area. The school offers high-quality education for its students and their families, most of whom fall beneath the federal poverty line.

Sullivan, an award-winning and Emmy-nominated CNBC anchor and senior national correspondent, will host a live interview with the school’s executive director, Rosanda Wong, for an up-close look at how PNS has pivoted its operations to support the children and their families during the pandemic.

In addition, they will discuss how the community has rallied to support this 92-year-old institution, according to PNS.

“Although we cannot hold the event in person this year, I am looking forward to having an engaging conversation with Brian Sullivan who has graciously agreed to host,” Wong said. “PNS is thrilled to have the talented Carly King stream her set live for our attendees.

“The Princeton community has been so generous in its support of PNS over the years and we know that this year’s event will continue to provide our school with the funds to support children and their families in need that live and work right in our own community,” Wong said.

“I am so excited to perform at the PNS Starry Starry Evening,” King said. “Growing up in the Princeton area provided me with so many great opportunities and I am honored to be able to give back to this amazing community and PNS through my art.”
