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!
