Our annual fundraiser, The Walk for Life, is coming up on Friday, March 15. All money raised from our Walk for Life this year will be given to Cancer Care Community South Bay and City of Hope. Participating students and staff will attend a ceremony in the stadium and then head out on a police-escorted walk to Highridge Park and back. It costs $30 to participate, and each participant will receive a Walk for Life t-shirt.
You can download this WFL Participation Form or find it under Panther Picks on the school website pvphs.com. Students will need to get their parent signature as well as Period 5 & 6 teacher signatures on the form. Forms must be returned with a minimum $30 donation (cash or check payable to PVPHS - WFL) to the ASB room P115.
DEADLINE TO TURN IN YOUR PARTICIPATION FORM IS WEDNESDAY, March 13!! Please help us maximize our gift to help our community cancer patients. Together we can make a difference.

SENIOR SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Seniors, please check Schoolinks for scholarship opportunities! Current postings include: NCL Strive Scholarship (due 3/8), PVCC Teen Service Award (due 3/8), California Credit Union Scholarship (due 3/8), ILWU Scholarship (3/14), Cabrillo Civic Club Scholarship (3/15), Elks California Student with Disabilities Scholarship (3/15), Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Scholarship (3/17), and more. To find scholarship listings on Schoolinks, click on Finances (left info bar), then Scholarship Matching. Look for scholarships that say, “posted by your district” above the name then click on the name of the scholarship to find out more information including how to apply. Make sure to read more than just the name of the scholarship. For instance, the Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Scholarship is not for juniors or for just women, Palos Verdes Junior Women is the name of the organization and the scholarship is for any PVPHS senior. If you click on the scholarship name, it will give the description of and, often the criteria for, the scholarship.

What's happening in Mr. Buda and Ms. Chen's classes?
Algebra 2 covers the concept of compound interest. Students researched Certificates of Deposit (CD's) from various banks to calculate how much money they could make in hypothetical investments. They also got to see how much interest could affect credit card debt by calculating how much money they would owe if they (hypothetically) missed credit card bills. Just in time for tax season, students got to see how interest applies to their everyday lives!

AVID College Tour
The AVID program went on their spring college tour to Concordia University and UC Irvine this past week. Students had a guided tour of each campus and learned about life on a college campus and gained valuable insights into the admissions process. Former Pen High students Spencer Lam and Ryan Pang who now attend UC Irvine did an incredible job of leading the tour of their college campus.

| For the past 33 years, the South Bay Challenge for Education has proudly dedicated itself to raising funds to help the youth of the South Bay community deal with the social pressures of adolescence. Proceeds from the organization support South Bay City School Districts and Community opportunities for growth and development, helping youth realize their full potential. The High School Golf Challange, one of their main fundraisers, was held at Los Verdes GC on November 19, 2023. Seniors Tara Timm, Rena Fung, Winston Shen, and Jackson Best represented Peninsula HS in the scramble team format and shot 11 under par, winning 1st place and $800 for the school. Way to go Panthers! |  | |
