The stats are troubling-47% of SFSD students qualify for free/reduced lunches. Their family's income is not enough to make ends meet. That makes it difficult to support school fundraisers. Operation Hope & Caring helps! Get your tickets to the SF STORM game to support schools!

Today was a special day for a group of students at R.F Pettigrew Elementary and Roosevelt High School. A 5th grader at R.F Pettigrew is battling Leukemia and has a brother who goes to RHS. The Cancer Awareness Club at RHS and students from R.F Pettigrew held a fund raiser for the family and today participating students from both schools got together for a photo. The collaboration between RHS and Pettigrew raised almost $500 for the family. The ‘Courage for Cobey’ shirts even tied in the school colors, with Maroon for RHS and Purple for Pettigrew. What a great show of support from our students for their peers and community members!
