Peninsula High School

Thursday, September 25, 2025

1. Do you like to stay up to date with what's going on in the world? Do you like to act? Do you have a topic you are passionate about that you want to share with people? Do you like to argue? If so, speech and debate might just be for you! Our first practice of the season for new members is this TODAY at 3:15 in room 208! Last year the team took third in districts and took three students to Nationals - come see what event is right for you, there is something for EVERYONE. Reach out to Miss Lancaster or captains Mars Burton and Alyssa Robinson if you have questions - See you there!
2. Buenos Dìas y Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! El Pueblito, Puerto Vallarta & El Guero are a few Hispanic/Latino businesses nearby you should support this month in celebration!  
3. Hey Seahawks! This Saturday, September 27th, your PHS Band is hosting the Peninsula Classic here at Roy Anderson Field, a marching competition where bands from all over Washington State come to perform! PHS performs at 1pm, and again at 5:30pm, and all students with ASB get in for free! Come support YOUR award winning marching band!
4. Next week is the DEADLINE for the Washington DC trip during Mid-Winter break. Wanna see the monuments and memorials? Experience the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier? Roam the Hall of Congress? Go bowling in the White House? You can possibly make all that happen only if you sign up with Mr. Messersmith in room W5 as soon as possible.

8. Pickleball Drop-ins this week are today.  It’s $5 from 530 - 730pm in the Aux Gym. We have paddles if you need one. Anyone from PHS is welcome and it’s so much fun! You must fill out a liability waiver available in the Main Office or Mrs Demianiw’s room and have it signed by your parents in order to play ahead of time. Just bring it with you when you come. Don’t miss out!
9. Hey Seahawks! We've got some exciting news! This year we have our FIRST EVER Homecoming Food Drive and it kicks off September 29th and runs through October 3rd. All donations will go directly to Food Backpack 4 Kids. Here’s how it works: each class competes to see who can bring in the most food. You earn spirit points for each item that you bring in, but you earn DOUBLE POINTS for granola bars, individual packs of goldfish crackers, fruit snacks & oatmeal packets. Please drop off your donations before school starts each day at the ASB window.  Let’s show our school pride by filling those bins and helping our community. Together, we can make this food drive a huge success!
