During these crazy pandemic times, we are unable to provide our community with the in-person gatherings that we so cherish. In the place of Auction and Spring Fair, we’re launching the Peninsula Spring Bonanza, and we hope you’ll participate in whichever ways interest you!
The goals of the Bonanza are to foster connection and support, and there are a few ways to participate. Beginning April 15 and culminating in an online event on Saturday, May 1, there will be a series of opportunities to show your love to Peninsula and to connect with your fellow community members. Here’s a taste of what you’ll see:
Beginning April 15th
Raise Your Paddle for Tuition Assistance - This year’s Raise Your Paddle will be entirely online and will enable the Peninsula community to increase tuition assistance and to plan for adjusted needs in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. More than ever, we could use your help to ensure that a Peninsula education remains in reach for more families.
Peninsula’s Online Auction - As in years past, we will hold a fabulous auction, but this year, it will all be online. We are asking for donations of exciting items or experiences for our online auction from our generous and talented Peninsula Community. Items and experiences must be contactless, and adhere to Peninsula School’s health and safety guidelines. Donations are gladly accepted here.
T-Shirt Sale - Normally, the Spring Fair is the only place to get your wonderfully designed Peninsula swag. But, we can’t have our community running around without their Peninsula best. Join us for a special online store opening on April 15 to pick up all of your Peninsula gear!
Saturday, May 1st from 6-7:30 pm
Disco Fever Twitch Dance Party - Join us for a disco-funk dance party on Twitch! Get dolled up in your best disco attire, and dance with your household to the DJ stylings of Chromatic Cats! This dance party will lift your spirits with tunes provided by our DJs designed to turn any living room into Studio 54!
Peninsula Zoom Connections - While you’re living your disco fantasy, you’ll be able to pop onto one of our open Zoom rooms and join alums, current families, staff, and friends of Peninsula in a number of breakout rooms designed to foster connection and allow you to say hi, or show off your dance moves! We’ll have different rooms that you’ll be able to jump into, to connect with folks of all stripes!
Alumni Experience - A very special experience is being designed that will allow alums from every year to participate and join in on the fun. Come get creative with your fellow alums, and share your stories in this fun and exciting forum!
