Green Team and Ridwell Plastic Film Drive

3/20/2025 11:15 am

 

The Peter Kirk Green Team, in partnership with Ridwell, is hosting a Plastic Film Drive.

 

Students are invited to bring clean, dry plastic film to drop off in the donation bins. Examples of the thin, flexible plastic that can be brought in include grocery bags, ziploc bags, shipping envelopes, bubble wrap, air pillows, bread bags, produce bags and cereal bags.

 

If you can stretch it or easily poke your thumb through it AND it is clean and dry, send it in for the drive!

 

Thank you, PTSA, for sponsoring Green Team!

 

Plastic film will be collected Monday, March 17 through April 30.

Way to go, S.N.A.C.K. Team!

3/18/2025 8:02 pm

 
Last week, over 100 Peter Kirk families and staff joined our sold-out multi-cultural culinary event, S.N.A.C.K. Together (Share Nibbles And Cultural Knowledge). Participants ate and drank their way through three continents as four Peter Kirk community members shared personal stories, traditions and fun facts about their cultural heritage. S.N.A.C.K. brought our community together to honor and celebrate our differences and reminded us that that food is a wonderful way to unite people from all around the world.
 

A big thank you to our 2025 SNACK cultural speakers — Preeti Laharwani (India), Mike Shepherd (Philadelphia), Sadie Quinsaat (Philippines), and Omeed Rameshni (Australia) — for sharing their cultural heritage with us! We are grateful to our amazing team of S.N.A.C.K. volunteers who packed, distributed, and delivered all 140 SNACK boxes. Finally, a special shoutout to the Peter Kirk Elementary Choir for their fantastic performance during the intermission — well done!

 

If you would like to submit S.N.A.C.K. event photos for the yearbook, please upload them HERE.
