Thanks to our cheer parents and supporters for helping show support for our cheer team as they prepare for state. A special thanks to Adrienne Guthmueller for decorating the commons (it looks amazing) and Sarah Jones for organizing the drive thru town today. We appreciate you!

PHS STUCO would like to thank all families for donating canned goods and food items this week. This will feed local families through Operation Christmas and the Lil Dragon Food Pantry. Over 3000 items were donated with the Sophomore class bringing in most items. #phsdragons
The Lex/Purcell Wrestlers would like to thank the Dragon Fire Booster Club for their generous support of the wrestlers by donating snacks for the season. Be sure to look for opportunities to support our wrestlers this year! #phsdragons
Thank you Char Page and District Designs for your generous donations to our PHS Clothes Closet. These contributions help students in need. We are grateful to have the help and support of our community. Schools aren't successful without the aid of a giving community! #phsdragons
Thank you April Trumbo and National Honor Society students for organizing such an amazing tribute to our Veterans yesterday. I will include more detailed thanks to all who participated in my parent newsletter. A very special thanks to Brigadier General (ret.) Jon Harrison, PHS Class of 1984. General Harrison delivered powerful and timely remarks about the value of service and the strength of the diversity of our nation. #phsdragons
Dragons giving back. Our boys choir students were in need of new dress clothes for upcoming performances. We needed $500 to purchase the necessary clothes (see pic). Mayra Munoz, PHS Spanish teacher, heard about the need, and Spanish Club paid for the new clothes. Ms. Munoz will not like this recognition. Because that's just the way she is. However this is just one of many examples of Spanish Club, Mayra Munoz, and her students stepping up to help out others.

Our Aviation 1 students, under the guidance of Jack McNeely, built airfoils to test & designed and constructed wind tunnels. Aviation is a new STEM career pathway. Students learn the history of flight and basics of engineering design. I love the hands-on learning! #phsdragons
Southwest Oklahoma Band Directors Association (SWOBDA) Honor Band Auditions were this weekend at Altus High School. Purcell had a great representation of 48 students between the HS and JH Band Programs.
Students learn 2 pieces of music for their specific instrument and then perform anonymously for 2 judges. If students make the SWOBDA Honor Band, they get to go to a clinic/performance in February with students from all of the other schools in our region.
We are very proud of all the students that auditioned yesterday! The following students made the 2023 SWOBDA Honor Band. Juniors: Leilani Hartleroad (Trumpet) / Abbygail King (Clarinet). Freshmen: Asa Byrne (Percussion) / Kenna Lee (Bass Clarinet) / Abril Myury (Clarinet).
All the Dragon success means a busy week ahead. There is so much happening I couldn't fit the following events on SAT 11/10 on schedule (see below):
*boys bball scrimmage @ Del City
*lex/purcell wrestling @ Westmoore
*OKMEA Choir All-State 2nd Round Auditions
