Students are LOVING the in-person book fair! Send your kiddos to school with cash, card, or e-wallet to make their purchases! We're open 8:05am-3pm daily AND before/during/after this week's evening events!
How fun is this!? Drop off your teen for an hour every Tuesday until the end of the school year? Yes please! (PS. Only 2 kiddos went last week - let's help spread the word!)
To our Food Backpacks 4 Kids Family,

Everyone who supports this program with your heart, your kindness, your time, your words, and your donations is part of our family. This week with the help of more people than we can list, we were able to provide 155 local families with a Thanksgiving Holiday Meal and more.
Families were able to shop for their own holiday meal items from our FB4K Family Pantry. Those items included a holiday meat (turkey, ham, chicken, or turkey breast), stuffing, apple cider, fresh potatoes, onions and yams, pie, butter, other fresh produce and non-perishable foods and drinks, Christmas wreaths, handmade quilts, knitted hats and more.
We are honored to help families with a holiday meal and food assistance year round with your help.
We will be providing Christmas Meals as well, so watch for more information on how to help.
We are thankful for you all. Keep your loved ones close and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Love,
Food Backpacks 4 Kids

As we approach the first day of school on September 7, back to school events are starting to happen around our district!

Pictured in these photos are 6th Grade and New Student Orientation activities at Goodman Middle School and Harbor Ridge Middle School on Thursday.

Staff and mentor students welcomed 6th graders and new students with school tours and presentations about schedules and routines to support the transition for incoming students.

We've missed our students and look forward to the 2021-2022 school year!

Welcome back, 6th graders!

Today middle school staff welcomed students in 6th grade 'A' day cohorts for their first day back on school campuses in the hybrid model.

6th graders in 'B' day cohorts return tomorrow, with 7th and 8th grade cohorts starting next week.

Fully remote learning continues for middle school families electing to continue remotely.

PSD middle school students join Kindergarten through 5th grade, special education, developmental preschool and select small groups as hybrid in-person learners.

Pictured in these photos are a few images from Harbor Ridge Middle School and Goodman Middle School.

February is Black History Month, which serves as a touchpoint for reflecting on Black people's important contributions, accomplishments, and leadership to our nation and world.

During Black History Month, students are learning and sharing about influential Black leaders. One such example is Harbor Ridge Middle School's Black History Assembly, featuring presentations, performances, and reflections from students.

The full assembly can be viewed on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/m-mtzYE8ZsQ

Another such example is this collage of Ruby Bridges, put together by the students of Mrs. Trinh’s class at Discovery Elementary School.

Thank you, HRMS and Discovery students and staff, for sharing these projects with us.
We conclude CTE recognition week by featuring Mario Peñalver. Mario is a CTE Building Coordinator and Advisory Panelist at Harbor Ridge Middle School, and has worked for PSD for four years.

Mario leads the career and technical education program at Harbor Ridge, which includes a student-centered PrimeTime program; FalconCentral, a student-managed help desk that provides tech support to building staff; and CTE classes. Throughout the school year, he teaches subjects such as multimedia, app development, an introduction to technology, robotics, and forensics.

Mario finds that the most rewarding part of his workday is collaborating with his colleagues. "Career atmospheres are collaborative and cross-departmental in nature, and so to keep my program career-centered I have to find every way possible to collaborate with my colleagues,” Mario said.

Across our district, schools show care for community in a variety of ways.

One such example was a recent food drive competition between Kopachuck Middle School Coyotes and Harbor Ridge Middle School. The friendly competition combined to raise 4,985 pounds of food donated to Gig Harbor Peninsula FISH Food Bank. Way to go!🥫

Families dropped off food during school material pick-up times. 📚 KMS families were invited to bring pets along for yearbook pictures 🐶🐱

HRMS students can now access free audiobooks and e-books right from their Chromebook, phone, or tablet thanks to the SORA app!
Check out the video below to find out how. Happy reading! 📚
Hello HRMS families!
The online BOOK FAIR will continue through the weekend (Sunday, Nov 29)!

While you're home for Thanksgiving break, we hope you'll shop the fair for holiday gifts... and remember, ALL book purchases earn 25% back to the HRMS library.

Shop the fair & check out the virtual fair experience:

Have a great holiday!
Thank you so much from the Booker family. You all are amazing. Your efforts, warmth and natural enthusiasm was beyond everything. Amazing. Lots of appreciation from our family to all of you. Thank you for for all you do and have done. 💙💙💙💙💙HRMS
It was nice to see Mike and Brian today! They really go out of there way to always be there to listen and support our students. During this difficult transition we are so blessed to have people at Harbor Ridge care so much about our kids and what is to come in the future. We feel so blessed to be a part of the Harbor Ridge family. My son misses you guys so much. I wish he was with me today. Thank you both for taking the time to just talk with me for a moment. Just being at the school for 5 minutes made me feel hopeful for next year. We miss all of you at Harbor Ridge.
Here is another way we are staying connected in the Peninsula School District! Thank you Harbor Ridge Middle School staff for setting up a virtual 5th grade orientation!
