Today, our excited 2nd graders took their learning beyond the classroom walls with a fantastic field trip to Imagination Station! 🚌💡 From exploring hands-on science exhibits to experimenting with magnets, motion, and energy, the students had a blast diving into the world of STEM. Whether they were exploring, walking sideways, or riding the gravity bike, curiosity was in full swing.

Move over Mr. Wagner and Mr. Waldvogel... when Dads are MIA, Tenley and Will call the shots! 😂

Ms. Enderle and Mrs. Thompson's 5th-graders crushed their reading and Mini Book Report goals this year and earned their EPIC Teacher Torture reward! And the best part? The students didn’t just watch... they jumped in on the fun, too! Thanks for being such good sports, Ms. Enderle and Mrs. Thompson! Great job, Blackbirds!

Mrs. Holsopple’s and Mrs. Borton’s second graders had a wonderful opportunity to learn all about the incredible work the FCHS does to help animals in need of a home. As part of our 2nd Grade Consumer Fair project, we were proud to donate proceeds to support their mission. We were especially thrilled to meet a few furry friends from the Humane Society during their visit. Thank you to everyone who helped make this experience so special! 🐾 Sincerely, Mrs. Holsopple's & Mrs. Borton's 2nd-graders

Just a few years ago, Mrs. Hoffmire surprised Mrs. Lisa Aeschliman on their kindergarten field trip to Harrison Lake with a retirement cake, and today was Mrs. Hoffmire's turn to be surprised! For over two decades together, these two remarkable sisters poured their hearts into our kindergarten classrooms, shaping the first steps of learning for hundreds of little ones. From ABCs and 123s to zipping coats, from morning songs to tearful goodbyes, they brought warmth, laughter, and love to every corner of the school. What made their journey even more special? They did it together: as sisters, colleagues, and best friends. Their bond could be felt in every shared story, every unplanned matching or coordinating outfit, every collaborative project, and every joyful celebration of a child’s “aha” moment. As Mrs. Hoffmire closes out this beautiful chapter and journeys into retirement, Pettisville Schools and the entire community offer a heartfelt thank you. Your impact stretches far beyond the classroom walls—into the homes, hearts, and futures of so many. Enjoy your well-earned retirement... you’ve truly left your mark, not just as teachers, but as pillars of Pettisville Elementary.

Reminder: Last chance for the lost & found tables. Please take your items home! 🧦 👕 🩳 👟
