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! 🐉✨

Thank you so much to First United Bank for donating coloring pages and the bag of balls for our students. We truly appreciate your generosity and your commitment to spreading kindness in our community.
We are looking forward to using the coloring pages as part of a conversation about kindness and how even small actions can make a big impact. The new balls will also be put to great use right away — the kids will be thrilled!
Thank you again for thinking of our school and including us in your United Acts of Kindness initiative.

Today's kindness theme was "Team up for Kindness Day", wear your favorite team shirt. Tomorrow is "Kindness is the Dragon Way", wear your dragon gear!

Protect your mouth from injury to maintain oral health! 🦷 Be careful with hard foods that can chip teeth, and never use your teeth as tools. Wear a mouthguard during sports to prevent injuries and keep up with regular dental check-ups to catch potential issues early. Stay safe and smile bright! #OralHealth

💘🎶 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! 💕🎉

Our kindergarteners had a 100-tastic day celebrating the 100th day of school! 👵👴 Dressed as 100-year-olds, they brought so much personality and laughter to the classroom.
Students stayed busy all day making fun snacks, completing creative writing activities, designing crafts, and tackling exciting “100 challenges.” The room was filled with smiles, teamwork, and lots of proud moments as they celebrated how much they’ve learned in 100 days.
And of course, a big shoutout to their Bingo Queen teachers, who helped make the day extra special and full of fun. What a memorable milestone for these amazing learners! 🎉
