 The Peninsula girls soccer team “played for the cure” in their first annual breast cancer fundraiser. The players and coaches donned pink jerseys for the game while collecting donations at the gate and well as donating all proceeds from the concession stand. Together, the game raised over $700 for breast cancer research. We are Peninsula Proud of our team for their passion to make a difference for others.

 All nine of
Peninsula High School’s fall sports teams have qualified
for Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA)
academic honors, earning a 3.0 grade point average or
higher, a first for the Gig Harbor-area school.
“Of course the season is far from over, but so far our
fall teams are doing quite well on the ‘field’,” said
Curtiss Hall, athletic director at Peninsula. “In the
classroom they are doing extremely well. It is unique to
have all varsity teams qualify for academic awards.”

 The H1N1 (Swine) flu virus and the possible outbreaks of illness among children in school continue to be a concern. Our district works closely with the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department in providing guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus and in planning for the management of any outbreaks of the illness that may occur in our schools. Students are regularly reminded at school to use preventive measures to reduce the spread of illness, and we encourage parents to reinforce the same preventive measures at home.
