Our Pre-K classes have been learning all about pets this week and will continue next week! 🐶🐱 We’ve been talking about how to care for animals, what they need to stay healthy, and how we can show kindness and responsibility as pet owners. To put our learning into action, our little learners are hosting a Pet Donation Drive to help our local animal shelter! 🐾❤️ We are collecting items such as pet food, treats, toys, blankets, paper towels, and other basic supplies. This is such a special opportunity for our students to practice compassion, generosity, and community service at an early age. We are so proud of their big hearts! If you’d like to help, donations can dropped off at the Pre-K entrance elementary school. We will accept donations through Friday, February 27. Thank you for supporting our students as they learn to care for others — even our furry friends! 🐕🐾

Our little Dragons had the best time finishing up Kindness Week with our 50’s-themed Valentine’s Party! ❤️🎶 From sweet smiles to sweet treats, our kindergarteners enjoyed sundaes, chips, and lots of yummy goodies while celebrating friendship and kindness. They also had fun sorting and graphing candy hearts. The 50’s outfits were adorable, and the joy in the room was even sweeter than the ice cream! 🍦💕 We are so proud of our little Dragons for showing kindness all week long and ending it with such a fun celebration. Happy Valentine’s weekend, Little Dragons! ❤️ See you all Tuesday! 🐉✨

Wear a mouthguard during sports to prevent injuries and keep up with regular dental check-ups to catch potential issues early.

💘🎶 Purcell Elementary Valentine Parties!🎶💘 We’re excited to invite parents and families to join us for Purcell Elementary’s Valentine parties on Friday, February 13! This year’s theme is a fun 50’s throwback, so students are welcome to dress up in their best poodle skirts, leather jackets, rolled jeans—and parents are welcome to dress up too! 🕶️👗 ⏰ Party Times: Party times will vary by grade level. Teachers will send out specific party times for each class. 💌 Valentine Deliveries: Deliveries may be dropped off at school; however, students will not receive them until the afternoon. Please note that flowers and balloons are not allowed on buses, so if your child rides the bus, you’ll need to make other arrangements for getting those items home. We can’t wait to celebrate with lots of smiles, sweets, and 50’s-style fun. Thanks for helping us make it a great day for our students! 💕🎉 #PurcellElementary #ValentineParty #50sTheme #SchoolFun
