Dance...Dance, Dance, Dance!!!!
No School on Monday and Tuesday, February 19 & 20 for President's Day Break!
Enjoy the extra time with family and see you back on Wednesday!
Tuesday, Feb 20 is a NO SCHOOL day, so be sure to stop by Oscar Howe Elementary for the second Community Health & Wellness fair, put on by the Community Learning Centers! There are lots of activities for kids, tons of community vendors, and amazing prizes for all!
The Student Council would like to remind everyone that Pink Shirt Day is on Feb. 28th!!
The story behind the pink shirt movement is about a student that was being mistreated for wearing a pink shirt to school, and other students banded together to stand up for this student by everyone wearing PINK..
Our Student Council thinks this would be a great community building day for Pettigrew staff and students!
Get your PINK SHIRTS ready for a PINK OUT at Pettigrew! This could be a great schoolwide photo opportunity message that Pettigrew could send out to all of SFSD!
A big thank you to our school counselors at Pettigrew, Mrs. Meyer and Ms. Maag, and counselors districtwide, for all of your hard work, support and compassion for our children!

The playground at Pettigrew is a Winter Wonderland! Remember, snow pants and boots are REQUIRED to play on the snow hills! Keep your winter gear ready for school each day!
LOOK!!! The new Pettigrew Library furniture has arrived! This furniture is part two of a library makeover thanks to the Fun Run donations and hard work from our families to make the Fun Run a success!
Our students absolutely loved the library makeover last year, so we can't wait for them to come back and check out the lastest add ons!
Thank you Pettigrew families for making this possible~
