This past Friday, April 12, marked a special celebration at Swift Water Elementary School. In partnership with the school's VPO (Volunteer Parent Organization), we were thrilled to host our third annual Purple Up Day—a day dedicated to recognizing the resilience and sacrifices of our military children.

Swift Water Elementary proudly supports over 50 families with active duty military members. Purple Up Day provides an opportunity for us to honor these incredible young individuals. Read more to see photos of the special celebration.

The Peninsula School District is proud to share that our district is a 2024 Purple Star Award winner, which recognizes that PSD provides support and resources for military families. This newly launched award is jointly presented by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA).

Don’t forget! Next week, April 15 through 19, is spring break for all PSD students. There is no school and district offices are closed to the public. 

Enjoy a week off and we’ll see you Monday, April 22!

Superintendent Krestin Bahr is pleased to announce Michael Farmer has been selected as the Peninsula School District’s new Chief of Schools. The Chief of Schools will supervise the administrators at all 17 of our district’s schools. Bahr is also proud to announce the promotion of Kelsey Parke as our district’s new Director of Career and Technical Education. Farmer and Parke will both begin in their positions on July 1, 2024.

The Peninsula School District and the PSD Board of Directors celebrate and honor our military families during April, which is nationally Month of the Military Child. More than 1.6 million military children face challenges and unique experiences because of their parents’ service, and we want to thank each and every member of the military for your service and sacrifices for our country.
