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!

Everybody Reads!
The Sioux Falls School District is excited to partner with Siouxland Libraries again for Everybody Reads! From March 13-31, students, staff, parents, and community members are being encouraged to track how many books they read. The goal is to create a community of readers ages 0 –100! Starting March 13, you will see a rocket, astronaut and a galaxy begin to appear in the library. For the next three weeks, a new star will appear in the galaxy when a book is read. Once your student(s) completes a book, they will receive a star to add to the galaxy. We look forward to a bright galaxy with billions and billions of stars!
Don't forget to set your clocks AHEAD one hour this Sunday, March 12th for Daylight Savings Time.
