Pepin Academies New Port Richey
Good evening!
There is so much happening this weekend and in the upcoming week that I wanted to send out some reminders. However, instead of sending separate emails, and flooding your inbox, I compiled them into one Smore.
I encourage you to read through this entire newsletter; we would hate to see your family miss out on any of these upcoming Pepin Academies events.
This Friday, October 24, is an early release day. It is also a House Day and students may wear a shirt that aligns with their House color (see graphic to the right). As always, shirts must be school appropriate, and if their House color is not worn, a school uniform is required.
I hope to see you at one of the activities this weekend!

Dear families,
We’re thrilled to share that we’re heading to Berlin, Krakow, Budapest, & Prague in Summer 2027, and we’d love for your student to join us!
This is an incredible opportunity for students to explore new places,
experience different cultures, and gain lifelong skills like independence
and confidence. I’ll be sharing all the details, including what we’ll see
and do, hands-on learning activities, academic opportunities, trip costs,
and how to secure a spot at our informational meeting.
Meeting details:
Date: Wednesday, October 29th
Time: 6PM
Location: The Media Center
RSVP here to join us: https://rsvp.eftours.com/hyx4wbh
We’ll also open enrollment during the meeting—spots are limited, and I
would love to help you secure this experience for your child.
In the meantime, please visit EF’s website to get answers to common
parent questions. EF Tours is our trusted travel partner, and they have
years of experience helping students explore the world safely and
affordably.
I hope to see you there and look forward to sharing how this trip can be a
powerful and unforgettable chapter in your student’s life!
Best,
Jennifer Morris
Please note this is a non-school sponsored trip
Veterans Day is fast approaching, and we are super excited about the events planned for Monday, November 10. One of the activities being put together is a Salute to Veterans slideshow and we would love your participation. If you or someone in your family is a veteran, please send us a photo and include the service member's name, branch of service, student's name and relationship. All veterans and active service members are welcome to submit photos. To ensure we have time to include all entries and create a complete the slideshow, please submit all photos by November 1 to Mrs. McBride at amcbride@pepinacademies.us. All requested information must be included with the photo in order for it to be a part of the slideshow.
