Dear families of Peninsula,
Service Learning Leadership is hosting its annual Food Drive this week, Monday, November 13 – Friday, November 17!
20% of Californians are food insecure. This means 1 in 5 people wonder how they are going to afford dinner and 8.8 million people struggle to put food on their plate. By participating in SLL’s annual Food Drive, you can help! Last year we received and donated 12,000 items and we’re hoping to donate even more this year! We are seeking nonperishable food donations like pasta, rice, beans, canned soup, crackers, and more. Please avoid canned corn and other canned vegetables.
Donations can be made in the North Dance Room from Monday, November 13 through Friday, November 17 during panther time and lunch. Thank you to those of you who choose to donate!
Sincerely,
Service Learning Leadership

Peninsula High's Mock Trial Team Triumphs, Secures Direct Path to Playoffs
Peninsula High's Mock Trial team delivered standout performances at the recent competitions held at the DTLA Courthouse. Both the defense and prosecution teams showcased remarkable legal skills and etiquette, earning the team a direct advancement to the playoffs on Wednesday, Nov. 15, bypassing the semi-playoffs entirely.
The collective effort and dedication of the entire team were evident in their ability to navigate the complexities of the cases, presenting compelling arguments that impressed judges and observers alike. The skip to the playoffs is a testament to the exceptional skill and preparation exhibited by Peninsula High's Mock Trial participants.
As we celebrate this significant milestone, we extend our congratulations to Sophie Wang and Kayden Roxas for earning the MVP awards. The team’s hard work and commitment have not only secured their spot in the playoffs but have also emphasized the strength of Peninsula High's Mock Trial program.
Stay tuned for more updates as we cheer on Peninsula High in the upcoming playoff round!
