There were some very special visitors in the Library this week! Mrs. Aeschliman surprised Mrs. Hoffmire’s class and read to them. Mr. Clark read “Clark the Shark Loves Christmas” to the other Mrs. Aeschlimans class… and even the Grinch dropped by. Mayhem ensued with shrieks of children running and giggling. It’s been a great week!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… we even had a Buddy the Elf sighting today! Thanks for decking the halls with smiles, Mr. Waldvogel! 🧝♂️

Mr. Waidelich and Mrs. Lammers recently teamed up for a STEAM Lego project. Leading up to Thanksgiving break, the 7th period Robotics class has been visiting the Library.
The project started by sorting Lego sets into colors, and then students began building their own creations. Next, they will be responsible for creating their own set of instructions to rebuild their projects from start to finish. Next semester, these sets of legos and instructions will be available for younger students to build.
Keep up the great work, Blackbirds!
Leading up to Thanksgiving break, turkeys popped up in hallways throughout the school. From thankful turkeys filled with pictures of families and friends, to words of encouragement, to finger painted turkeys and even a book turkey... we are so thankful for our Blackbird students, staff, families, and community.
Happy Thanksgiving, Blackbirds! 🐦⬛ 🦃

Mrs. Wixom's 3rd grade class joined friends in Mrs. Aeschliman's Kindergarten class and enjoyed watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and feasting together. The feast of jellybeans, toast, popcorn, and pretzels, is what Charlie Brown had served his friends at their Thanksgiving.
Thank you to the @Pettisville School Foundation for surprising our staff today and treating them to a coffee or treat from the Special Grounds Coffee Truck. It was a great way to kick off Thanksgiving week... we are thankful for the PSF and all that they do to support our school!
