Many people may wonder if you can get answers to life’s questions while enjoying your favorite pizza or entree’. As it turns out, you can, especially when it comes to the “new” Old Mission Peninsula School.
Beginning September 12 and continuing on the first and third Tuesday of each month through the rest of 2017, Old Mission Peninsula Education Foundation (OMPEF) board members will be at the Jolly Pumpkin from 6-7 p.m. to answer your questions about the new OMP School. So bring your questions, your kids, grab a bite to eat and we’ll see you there!

A NOTE FROM JANE: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers like the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, and magazines like Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So of course, I started my own newspaper. Because the Gazette is mainly reader-supported, I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks my way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the Old Mission Peninsula.
