1. Congratulations to Peninsula’s very own Katrina Cardinal! Wednesday night, she was honored by the nation’s largest volleyball coaching community. The League One Volleyball Summit community named Katrina National Volleyball Coach of the Year. We are incredibly Peninsula Proud of all she has accomplished and for the outstanding leadership she continues to bring to the volleyball program at PHS.
2. This Saturday & Sunday (Dec. 20th and 21st), from noon to 3, join Interact members who are helping the Gig Harbor Waterfront Alliance at Ancich Park to hand out snacks & cocoa, collect food for the Fish Food Bank, and maybe even see Santa! at this free event. See Mrs. Crabtree or any Interact member with questions.
3. Seniors.. urgent message!!!  Many students from across the state have been accidentally filling out 25-26 FAFSA instead of 26-27 FAFSA. You will need to go back in and click on 26-27 and complete that form, (most of the data will import over if you did the 25-26 form by accident) If you need help please see Ms. Hays or Ms. Jackson in the Future Readiness Center!
4. Seniors - Don't forget! The last chance to purchase your Scholarship Notebook is TODAY! Notebooks are on sale at the S.A.V.E. Thrift Store right down the hill from PHS between 12pm and 4pm.
5. AVID Club is happy to present December's Teacher of the Month. This month it's Mrs Haun! Here's what we have to say:  Since the start of the year Mrs.Haun has been actively morphing her classroom to foster a positive learning environment with AVID Strategies sprinkled throughout her lessons each day. This is Mrs.Haun’s first year teaching Algebra 2 at Peninsula and looking from the eyes of a student she has been doing exceptionally well. She provides students with extra help opportunities if needed along with active, engaging lessons each day to help foster growth and positivity. Her commitment to creating an enjoyable and productive classroom environment has been very fun to witness, all while using techniques from the AVID program to aid her in class. Way to make us PHS Proud, Mrs Haun!
