🐉💡 Summer is in full swing, but the great work happening in Purcell Schools doesn't stop when the school year ends! This week, our students, teachers, and administrators were busy sharing some of the great work happening in Purcell Schools at the Oklahoma School Innovation Summit 2026 (OSIS), presented by the Oklahoma Public School Resource Center. We take pride in showcasing the innovative work taking place in our schools with educators from across the state. A special thank you to everyone who represented our district at the conference, including Purcell Intermediate students Thomas Montgomery, Shrey Kamdar, Emersyn Resendiz, Makiah McAnally, and Eli Killman, along with staff members Tiffany Cook, Marsha Ambrose, Kayla Sweeney, Sharie Wilhoit, Kendra Dobbins, Tina Swayze, Carolyn Anyong, and Dr. Sheli McAdoo. And thank you to OPSRC for your valued partnership with us. Pictured: Students and Purcell Intermediate staff members demonstrated the impact of the Shoelace program, a literacy platform that personalizes learning to meet each student's individual needs. Tiffany Cook presented on proactive practices that help foster a positive school climate. Dr. Sheli McAdoo shared insights on the CORE Hub and teacher apprenticeship program, offering guidance to schools interested in implementing a similar model. We are proud of our students and staff for continuing to lead, learn, and share! 💡🐉 #PurcellPride #InnovationInEducation #PurcellSchools #OSIS2026
