 Many physical changes occur in the brain and body as a result of tobacco abuse. These physical changes can make learning and concentration more difficult and can negatively affect school performance. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (1988) some short-term effects of tobacco use that can impede student performance include:
1. Decreased attentiveness and activity, caused by the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
2. Increased absenteeism associated with cold, bronchitis, and asthma due to weakened immune systems.

 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.
