Pettigrew staff are so excited and vested in our 7 Mindsets theme this school year! The theme for March is “Live to Give”. Students have until the end of this month to submit their “Live to Give” posters for the monthly poster contest. Posters should be on 8.5” x 11” paper in landscape orientation.
So many books. So many readers!! Pettigrew is “branching out” and “setting roots” for great reading habits with over 20,000 books read in just over 2 weeks of the Everybody Reads Initiative!!
Way to go Panther readers!

Making connections through the RHS Teacher Pathways Program. This Pettigrew student was so happy to finally meet his favorite RHS basketball player. He was presented with a memento from this RHS mentor/athlete.
Some of our Pettigrew classrooms have had the opportunity to host a student teacher from the Teacher Pathways class at RHS! These RHS students helped teachers in the classroom and worked with students on an individual basis. Our students are enjoying time with their RHS mentors!
