Excuse us while we brag for a minute… Our Superintendent is pretty talented! Dr. Jane Stavem is an accomplished pianist, vocalist, trumpet player, French horn player, percussionist, xylophone player… oh, and she also plays harmonica! 😉 These talents, along with her deep love for all things Fine Arts, earned her the honor of Parade Marshal for Festival of Bands 2022! We are proud to be lead by someone who values the role extracurriculars play in “preparing each student to succeed in a changing world!”
Updated breakfast and lunch pricing, how to re-apply for free and reduced meals, who gets low fund balance notifications, and an easy and delicious snack mix recipe to try at home. It's all in the October edition of the "What's the Scoop" newsletter from our Child Nutrition Services!

Pettigrew students enjoyed a few RHS Homecoming activities over Homecoming Week 2022-23.
The RHS Royalty Court visited the building, read with students, and mingled with them during recess. RHS Homecoming Queen and former Pettigrew student Ava Steffen listened as students read to her.
We had several fun dress up days that took us on a world tour adventure.
We wrapped up the week with a marching band visit from Memorial Middle School.
These fun events help keep our students looking forward to their educational future and all Sioux Falls Public Schools have to offer. Thank you parents for helping to keep your students involved and excited about school!
