As the calendar year draws to a close and the winter break approaches, I want to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to all of our students, staff, families, and community members.
The holiday season is a special time—a time for reflection, gratitude, and connection. It is my sincere hope that each of you finds joy and peace in the coming weeks and has the opportunity to create lasting, cherished memories with your loved ones.
This year, as we celebrate, I encourage us all to embrace the true spirit of the season: kindness, compassion, and caring.
In the bustling world, it is often the smallest, most intentional acts that leave the greatest positive impact. Whether it's a helping hand, a listening ear, or a genuine expression of empathy, each of us has the incredible power to brighten the day and lift the spirit of those around us.
Let us carry this spirit forward—not just through the holidays, but into the new year—making a collective effort to nurture a positive and supportive environment within our schools and throughout the Purcell community.
On behalf of the entire Purcell Public Schools district, I wish you a wonderful and safe holiday season filled with joy and warmth. We look forward to welcoming everyone back, refreshed and ready for a successful start to the second semester.
Happy Holidays, Dragons!
Dr. Sheli McAdoo
Superintendent
Purcell Public Schools
