Leave it to Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Saffell to bring some sparkle to this Friday! In true Dolly fashion, our staff were treated to celebrate 9-2-5 Day with a little 'cup of ambition', some sweet treats, and plenty of sparkle! Because, as Dolly would say, “Find out who you are and do it on purpose!” 💖✨
We are thankful for all of our teachers, staff, bus drivers, cafeteria gals, custodial staff, administrators, and coaches who work way beyond the hours of 9-to-5! Thanks for all you do for our district.

On September 18, we celebrate students nationwide as they take an important step toward their future: applying to college. Across the country, students are applying to colleges, supported by their schools, families, and communities who believe in their futures. #WhyApply Day is about encouragement and inspiration. Whether a student is applying to a two-year or four-year school, every application represents a step toward opportunity and growth.

Mrs. Rufenacht’s 3rd grade class released one of their Monarch butterflies last week, marking another exciting moment in studying lifecycles!
Year after year, watching these students observe, learn, and experience the Monarch life cycle firsthand never ceases to amaze us. There’s nothing quite like seeing science come to life right before their eyes!

Although none of our current Blackbirds were alive to experience September 11, 2001, their worlds have been shaped by the events of the day, and by the world events that followed. Today, we pause to reflect and remember the lives that were lost on September 11, 2001, and to give thanks to the heroes who gave their lives for the sake of freedom.
We will never forget September 11, 2001.
We will have a 2-hr delay on Wednesday, Sept 9.
Enjoy your long weekend, Blackbirds!
Mrs. Wixom’s 3rd grade class celebrated a BIG moment this week as they released their first monarch butterfly of the year! 🐛➡️🦋
As they watched the butterfly emerge from its chrysalis, Zendaya summed up the moment perfectly:
“This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life!” 😍
We’d have to agree. There’s a little bit of magic in watching science come to life right before your eyes! Keep learning, Blackbirds!🖤💛

💛 Welcome to the Blackbird Family! 🖤
A proud 2015 Pettisville High School graduate, Eli earned his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Trine University (2019). For the past seven years, he has worked as a manufacturing engineer at a Tier 1 automotive supplier in Montpelier. Coach King has been a staple in the Blackbird junior high basketball program for many years, and we're happy to have him serving in another capacity as our STEAM teacher.
Mr. King married his wife, Bailey, in 2020, and they welcomed a daughter, Willa, in 2024. This summer, their family grew again, as they added a son, Arlo. Outside of work, Eli enjoys coaching and playing sports, cheering on Cleveland sports teams, tent camping, fishing, farming, planting trees, and making maple syrup. 🌳🎣🏕️
His favorite book series is Eragon, and his life motto is one worth remembering: “Control what you can control, and make peace with the things you can’t control.”
We’re excited to welcome this Blackbird alum back to the nest!
Mrs. Childs hails to us from North Central and Northwest State, with a homeschool background. Although she started as Assistant Treasurer during the last school year, we wanted to give her a proper Blackbird welcome!
Outside of school, she enjoys hiking, painting, playing sports and chess, photography, and getting lost in a good book. 📚 She’s also an avid fisherman, with a favorite piece of wisdom that says it all: “The best fishing spots are the ones so secluded even the fish don’t know about them.” 🎣
Randi's favorite book is Inkheart, and her go-to meal is steak with mushroom sauce.
We’re excited to welcome Randi to the Blackbird family! 💛
Born and raised in the Pettisville community, Mrs. Yeager is a proud 1998 Pettisville graduate and has spent an incredible 23 years teaching at Pettisville! This year, Mrs. Yeager moved into teaching 2nd grade, after many years teaching 3rd. Believe it or not, Pettisville Schools have been home for 36 years of her life.
Mrs. Yeager earned degrees from Hesston College, Eastern Mennonite University, and Marygrove College, where she completed her Master’s in the Art of Teaching.
Outside of school, she enjoys walking, baking, reading, traveling, and exploring national parks. She and her husband, Darren, have visited 33 national parks and 45 states, and this summer alone, they hiked more than 86 miles through the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Montana! 🥾🏔️
Jodi also enjoys raising monarch butterflies and spending time in her backyard. Her favorite book is the Bible, and her life motto is a fitting reminder: “One day at a time; do not worry about tomorrow!”
We’re grateful for this longtime Blackbird and all she brings to the Pettisville family! 🖤💛
