Civil Municipal - April 2024

Next year, the outdoor Eagle Quest Program will be offered to gifted students in grades 2–5 living on the more rural Key Peninsula. Bahr says,“We want to take advantage of the environment for our families because that is why they live here. This area is rich with evergreen trees, water, wildlife, and orcas.” The Peninsula School District engages with and educates the public through consistent outreach, both inside and outside schools. Bahr says,“We have a very supportive community and engaged families and staff. Our volunteer parent organizations and advisory committees meet regularly, and they advocate for all students across the district.” The district surveyed the community on the educational characteristics and attributes that will go into Eagle Quest. “Using that feedback, we will develop that program and start it in the fall. So, we are looking forward to more exciting stuff,” adds Yellowlees. PSD holds parent nights, many centered around 263 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 5, ISSUE 04 PENINSULA SCHOOL DISTRICT
