🐉 🍎 Last week's Teacher Appreciation celebration reminded us once again how special the Purcell community truly is.

To our parents, families, businesses, organizations, and community members — thank you for the kindness, encouragement, meals, treats, notes, and support you showed our teachers last week. Your generosity and appreciation are treasured. Our teachers work tirelessly to serve students each day, and it was incredible to see our community pour back into them in such meaningful ways.

We also want to recognize and celebrate our Teachers of the Year, who were honored last week with a luncheon hosted by district administrators. Tonight, they were further recognized by Purcell Public Schools' Board of Education for their outstanding dedication, leadership, and impact on our students.

Thank you to all of our educators for the difference you make every single day. Thank you again to the Purcell community for supporting our schools and staff. 🍎 🐉

This innovative teacher apprentice program offers a meaningful pathway for staff to earn a bachelor's degree and become certified teachers through on-the-job training - while continuing to serve the communities they know and love!
