MUSIC AUDITIONS
Want to be part of Pen's award winning music department next year? Mark your calendar now as auditions are being held next month. Returning Peninsula students will audition during regular class time and students not currently enrolled in the instrumental music programs at Miraleste, PV Intermediate, or Pen need to contact the Peninsula music department to set up an audition. Complete audition details are available at pvphsmusicboosters.com or contact Rosie Chia, music department assistant, at [email protected].
READY FOR ROMANCE BOOK CLUB
Brighten this dreary winter with a light-hearted rom-com. Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian is the first book in the Ready for Romance Book Club. Despite the title, it's not a cotton candy confection. Contact the librarian, Mrs. Gutierrez, at (310) 377-4888 ext. 42602 or [email protected] to join and arrange for the pickup of your copy. Members will meet virtually around Valentine's Day to share their observations and ice cream.

PTSA BOOK CLUB
Meet with Panther families to discuss The Color of Law at the first PTSA Book Club meeting on Saturday, Feb. 13 from 9:00 to 10:30 am on Zoom.
