Experience Innovation in Action: School Showcase Presentations During Focus on Education Week

Our Peninsula School District community is invited to witness the remarkable work happening in our classrooms during this year's Focus on Education Week celebrations. These special showcase presentations offer a unique window into the innovative programs and creative learning approaches that make our schools exceptional.
Students across the district are eager to share their hands-on demonstrations and interactive exhibits that bring learning to life. Each presentation offers something unique for families and community members.

Elementary Highlights
  • Voyager Elementary's interactive Learning Garden exhibit showcasing environmental education in action

This is your opportunity to learn about the strategic initiatives driving positive change in our schools and share your insights.
