Marathon Volunteers Still Needed!

We're looking for volunteers Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays April 24-June 10 to help track miles. There are multiple time slots of just 45 min. increments.  
 
It is a great way for family members to get involved!  All you have to do is sign-up for the lap tracker app on your phone, hit start and scan as our students complete each lap.  
 
The app will track all student progress as they work toward 26.2 miles!

Peter Kirk Performs The Snow Queen

5/8/2025 4:19 pm

 
On Saturday, May 3rd we watched a magical adaption of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen, brought to life by the talented students of Peter Kirk! 
 

Special thanks to co-Chairs Winn Richardson and Alexa Licata, the School Play committee and all the parent volunteers who helped the performance happen with rehearsals all week!  

Gallery Walk a Huge Success!

5/8/2025 4:14 pm

 
Peter Kirk halls buzzed with excitement on May 2nd and 3rd during our self-guided gallery walk, showcasing over 1500 art pieces beautifully directed and curated by our dedicated art docents. It was inspiring to see students proudly share their creations and thoughtfully engage with the diverse artwork of their classmates.
 

Adding to the creative fun were interactive stations: a community art project and a thank you art docent station (both located downstairs on Saturday), and a personalized puzzle-making station (downstairs on Friday and upstairs on Saturday).

 

A huge thank you to our incredible Art Docents for their dedication in teaching art classes and meticulously hanging the artwork. We also extend our sincere gratitude to the Gallery Walk committee for their fantastic set-up and organization. Your combined efforts made this event so successful!

 

For any feedback, please email Gallery Walk Chair, Colleen McCloskey, at gallery@peterkirkptsa.org. Your input is greatly appreciated as we look forward to future celebrations of our young artists.

2nd Grade Garden Recap

5/4/2025 10:25 pm

Second grade garden lessons were sunny and amazing! These kids sure know how to clear out a garden bed. The lesson began in the outdoor classroom where PTSA parent bee experts led some discussion on mason bees and why pollination is so important. The classes then walked over and observed their garden beds that they planted in fall. There were tulips and daffodils, rosemary, violas and many weeds. The kids got to harvest a beautiful bouquet for their teacher and then cleared the bed for summer plantings of sunflowers and dahlias. Feel free to check on the growth this summer. Great work kiddos!

 

Interested in being part of the garden committee next year? Please reach out to Co-Chairs Kristen Kissinger and Sarah Joos, at garden@peterkirkptsa.org.
