Pettisville Schools -

Mrs. Wixom‘s 3rd graders read about the history of the first chocolate chip cookie and decided to go in search of the best recipe ever! Our Blackbirds submitted their favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, and the class chose three to bake. They teamed up with Ms. Litogot’s Culinary Arts class to make and bake the cookies. It was a SWEET collaboration! 🍪

A huge thank you to Fulton County Health Center for your generous donation for scoreboards at our South Fields. Your support brings energy, excitement, and a true sense of community to every game played there. We’re grateful for your investment in our students and community recreation programs. It will make a lasting impact for years to come! 🥎⚾
