To reach our vision, we need our families and community as partners.
The Peninsula School District is spearheading a community-wide effort to promote literacy development in young children. We want community members of any age to be a part of this plan.
The Peninsula School District and our partners will host a series of community activities to promote reading and literacy across the Gig Harbor and Key Peninsula communities. Events will include:
Peninsula School District invites everyone in the community to join us in reaching our goal to read 1 million minutes by the last day of school, June 21, 2023.
Pen Light and the Peninsula School District have collaborated to launch a ‘minutes read’ collection webpage as part of Peninsula Reads. Peninsula Reads is a community-wide effort to promote literacy development in young children by engaging community members of all ages in activities that support the importance of early literacy. When you’ve completed your reading activity, simply sign in and record how many minutes you read!
Use this tool to log your reading minutes.
We are proud to announce the achievements of two talented ninth-grade students from Peninsula High School in the Writing, Art, and Film Contest organized by the Holocaust Center for Humanity. Elisha C. secured 2nd place in the Physical Art category, while Jonas K. achieved 2nd place in the Argumentative Essay category.
Are you ready for a whimsical adventure in the great outdoors? Key Peninsula Middle School students were hard at work creating ceramic gnomes that will soon be scattered throughout Gateway Park, 360 Trails, Volunteer Park, and Home Park. Get ready for the Key Pen Parks’ Solstice Gnome Hunt on June 22nd!
