Purcell Elementary School

Last day thankful hearts! Today was bitter sweet. We love each of our Little Dragons and all of our Teachers and Staff! May each of you have an amazing Summer and we hope you will come visit if you are moving on to 3rd grade or other places. Many blessings to each of you! I am so thankful for our community and the people that no one knows about or sees step up when someone is in need. A special shout out today to Sloan's Tires. ❤️❤️❤️ We had a family in need and they helped out so much! Also thank you to our staff for assisting. And thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Yeary for allowing us to use your driveway. It takes a village but this village cares for one another and we're proud to be a part of it!🐲❤️

April Staff and Teacher of the Month: Special Education Paraprofessional Marcela Auz and Pre-K teacher Amanda Nicklas. Read what their colleagues have to say about them: Marcela Auz She is cooperative and goes above and beyond for her students. Mrs. Auz shows up with a smile on her face every day and is always positive. You can tell she cares and loves the kids deeply. She always steps up to help out when it is needed. I have been blessed to have Mrs. Auz in my classroom this year! It takes a lot of "heart work" to be a paraprofessional and she does a great job helping and being there for students and teachers every day! Amanda Nicklas She loves those babies like they are her own! She is so positive and kind. She engages with the kids and spreads her smile around the entire school. Always going above and beyond for her students! She always is willing to lend a hand or assists in finding a way to help others. PES sure is lucky to have them both! Way to go! #DragonCARES
