Announcements 2/26
1. Good morning, Cougs! Today is Thursday, March 26th. As we wrap up Black History Month this week, let's remember that service is a big part of leadership. Many Black Americans lead by helping others, mentoring youth, and strengthening communities through action. As our amazing guest speaker, Joy Sanford, shared yesterday, all of us working together and stepping into a space of learning, growth, and action can have a major impact going forward. Again, we are so grateful to our POC Club for organizing our Black History Month Assembly. Their time, effort, and leadership model the action that will move our school community forward toward belonging, inclusivity, and upholding the dignity of each individual in our school.
2. The student store is open at lunch, and we are hopeful students will continue following lunch expectations by remaining seated at a level 1 volume, throwing garbage away, and being responsible for cleaning up any accidental spills, exhibiting expected behavior during honor time, and transitioning to class after lunch by walking to the right and talking at a level 1 volume. This is also a reminder that Chromebooks are the property of the Peninsula School District, and acts of destruction or vandalism come with a cost and corrective action. Please exhibit expected behavior and remind your peers to show respect for our learning materials, common spaces, and school environment. We believe in you!
3. Registration for the 26/27 school year is rapidly approaching and will happen next week. We will be conducting grade-level assemblies to talk about registration and the process. Current 7th graders will join us today during CA and current 6th graders will join tomorrow during CA. Current 8th graders will be receiving information on registering for high school today in ELA and will hear from PHS administrators and counselors during CA on Monday. Also, special attention to any 8th graders who are planning to attend Gig Harbor HS next year, please let your counselor know, and they will send registration paperwork home and help you select classes if you have any questions.
4. Our amazing KPMS Choir has been hard at work and will be collaborating musically with elementary students at their concert tonight. The concert begins at 6:30 pm and will be held at KPMS in the gym. Come on out and support the performing arts!
