Pettigrew Families,
Our Pettigrew PTO needs you! Our school PTO sponsors some AMAZING student and family events throughout the year but they absolutely can not do it without parental volunteering and support.
Join the PTO this year!
Please consider helping out at PTO events, even if it is only for part of the time. Pettigrew is very grateful for our parents that take the time to ensure our students have fond memories of the PTO sponsored events that take place at school. We are a large school and need a lot of hands to keep events fun and SAFE.
Free Dental Clinic for uninsured children up to 21 years old.
