Last week, Mrs. Meller's Environmental Science class hiked 3 miles along the Ohio Buckeye Trail (towpath), enjoyed lunch at Independence Dam, and traveled to the Florida bridge and Napoleon boat docks for water quality analysis. They also picked up litter along their way!




PES is busy spreading kindness this week... the 1st Grade classes were BOOED by the other end of the hallway... but we won't give them away! #FillTheCups #Kindness #Love #Dignity #Respect
Each year in October, we have a week devoted to promoting positive choices and decisions. The focus is for students to think about how they treat others, themselves, their community, and school. #TogetherPettisville is how we make our school better. Let's do this, Blackbirds!

OHSAA Tournament Week
All tickets must be purchased online at https://www.ohsaa.org/tickets
No season passes, staff passes, league passes, cash, etc. will be accepted at the admission gate.
Good luck to all of our teams. Go Blackbirds!

1 Bus + 1 Driver = a BIG Impact on Education. Ohio public schools transport nearly 800,000 students on 15,000 buses every school day, traveling more than 1 million miles.
We love our bus drivers! Thank you Pettisville bus drivers for all you do to keep our students safe!

Derek Meyer, local firefighter and uncle to a few of our students, came to visit the Kindergarten classes last week as they learned about fire safety. Thank you for sharing with our little Blackbirds! Check out their awesome fire truck masterpieces! 🚒




Mrs. Thompson's 5th-grade social studies classes have been learning about Native Americans. They sampled '3 Sisters Stew' as well as Nori (seaweed) with sushi rice. Students loved them, even knowing that they were healthy and nutritious foods. Awesome job on the totem poles!




If you see our Blackbird out & about, grab a selfie or group photo for the Mascot Photo Challenge! Open to students, staff, families, and community members! Please email pics to photos@pettisvilleschools.org
HINT: You'll have a chance tonight at the PHS Volleyball Games!


Today kicked off the first official "FriYAY Breakfast Club" for our Kindergarteners and their parents. As the children are beginning their school careers, parents will be able to build relationships with one another, fostering a strong school community.



Every sport or competition requires a leader. More importantly, a leader who knows the game and drives athletes to work together as a team, motivating players to be their best. Thank you to all of our Blackbird coaches, present and past! #NationalCoachesDay #PettisvilleProud


Students in Mrs. Wixom's class recently finished Because of Winn-Dixie and replicated the party in the book. They had a party celebrating friendships, serving egg-salad sandwiches, Dump Punch, Litmus Lozenges, & pickles. Students decorated the classroom with dog pictures.
REMINDER: Pumpkin Fest is this Friday, October 7th.
Dodgeball & 3 on 3 forms are due TODAY by the end of the school day to the office or Mr. Poulson. Thank you!

Anyone who has attended school most likely remembers their favorite teacher. Teachers can ignite a lifelong passion for a subject or inspire students to change the world. Thank you to all of the wonderful teachers on our staff as we join in celebrating World Teacher's Day!
