Mrs. Wixom's and Mrs. Yeager's 3rd grade students, collected socks during the last week of October as part of Kid President's Socktober sock drive. This was a school wide effort! This project was initiated through discussion about how we can make a difference in the lives of others, even at 8 or 9 years old. Together, our Blackbird family collected 661 pairs of new socks! These will be donated to our Blackbird Pantry, where we will be able to distribute them to students and families in need.

The new website should be more mobile friendly. We also have an app that can be found in the App Store (Apple) and in Google Play (Google). Search "Pettisville" in either one of the products. There is also a link to both of the app downloads on the bottom right of the website.
Welcome to the new school website and app! Please feel free to look around. We are hoping this new tool will help showcase the heartbeat of what the kids are doing here at the school.
