Pettigrew Field Day is this Friday! The schedule is listed below on this poster. Parents/Guardians are invited to spectate but must do so from the side walk around the parameter of the park. No spectators are allowed on the playground. Thank you to Mr. Mohr and Mr. Tuschen for putting together this year's Field Day!
Our third graders have been working very hard to prepare for their lemonade stand sales adventure and are excited to share their hard work with our Pettigrew families.
This year, the third grade class has chosen to donate their proceeds to the Ilona Kruse family to assist with her medical journey. 💜
Parents are invited to attend the lemonade stands to purchase lemonade and support this meaningful cause. Visitors must check in at the office to get a visitor sticker, before going onto the playground. Please bring your driver’s license if you have never signed into our iPad Security System.
From early mornings to late afternoons, evenings and even some weekends, they are the steady compass guiding our students, staff, and families. Whether it’s greeting students with a smile, supporting teachers, or making tough decisions with care and thoughtfulness, their leadership shapes the culture of our entire school.
Thank you Mr. Wagner and Mrs. Walden, for being a champion for kids, a supporter of staff, and leaders who show up every single day with dedication and heart. Your impact reaches far beyond the walls of our building, and we are so grateful for all you do! Happy Principal’s Day!

This mindset feels like planting a garden where generosity is the sunlight!
The more you give, the more the soil of your life becomes rich and alive. “Live to Give” isn’t just about kindness in the moment, it’s about trusting that what you put into the world creates ripples that circle back in meaningful ways. When you offer respect, encouragement, or even your time, you’re quietly building a life that reflects those same gifts back to you.
The final mindset at Pettigrew this year is “The Time Is Now”
Talk with your child about what “The Time Is Now” means to them. How can they show courage? When can they take initiative? What is something they’ve been wanting to try or improve?
Every child who will attend school in the Sioux Falls School District for the 2026-2027 school year must complete an annual update. This is required every year to ensure that student information, such as data privacy, emergency, and health information, is correct and up to date.
