Last week, Pre-K through 1st graders explored, experimented, engineered, problem solved and worked together outside using different tools in water. There was plenty of laughter and squeals of delight. It may surprise you, but no one was terribly wet. It really was a great day!
Fifth graders recently spent time investigating an oil spill cleanup. After running into quite a few dead ends using the materials available in the ‘real world’, they then learned about a polymer that ‘ate’ the oil, and left the water crystal clear.
REMINDER: Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle to school each day. Our drinking fountains remain turned off, but the water refill stations are available!

WE SAVE FOR... one of our Pettisville Elementary staff members: Mrs. Thompson's family.
Hospital-provided housing has been a blessing to our family on more than one occasion. Our youngest, Jocelyn, was born two months premature at 32 weeks, and just over 3 pounds. She needed to be in the NICU for a month while her lungs grew stronger and she gained more strength. Living an hour away from the hospital and driving would have been very difficult for me, and this meant I could be with her and get the rest I needed as well. It also meant that my husband and our other children could come and visit, spend time with me and bond with their sister.
Jocelyn Sinclair, meaning “Joyous Prayer” certainly was that. She was healthy and happy, but caught RSV at 4 months of age due to her “preemie” immune system. Yet again, she was hospitalized in Toledo, and we were able to stay near her in the Home on campus. Our little mighty girl spent 8 days with a parent constantly by her side because of the generous ministry that on site housing provides. Jocelyn is now a healthy 6 year old. My husband and I will forever be very grateful for the excellent care that both she and our family received during our time at the hospital. Not only were our medical needs well met, but our family’s need to be together was important as well.
The Fulton County Fair is just around the corner and the Pettisville Music Boosters still have spots to fill... Thanks in advance for your support! https://signup.com/go/rpeCWjc
