PURCELL DRAGON FANS!
The OSSAA has enacted a new rule (Suspension from Athletic Activities for Unsporting Behavior Rule) in efforts to improve sportsmanship at HS & MS athletic events.
Any "egregious" unsportsmanlike behavior by Coaches, Players, or Fans, two or more time in the same season / same sport will cause the SUSPENSION of the Team and/or the individual from the rest of the season.
The OSSAA cited the following examples as some "egregious" unsportsmanlike behavior:
-Fans constantly verbally attacking officials.
-Fans physically attacking officials.
-Fans attacking other fans at athletic events.
-Coaches physically attacking or verbally berating officials.
-Players getting into fights with other players while shaking hands at the end of the contest.
-Student sections verbally chanting inappropriate or demeaning chants at individuals, teams, or officials.
We are truly blessed with INCREDIBLE FANS that support our young people in their sports, activities, and all they do. Please keep helping our young people by POSITIVELY supporting them at athletic contests.
Go Dragons!

Ray Samford's Horticulture Class takes advantage of a beautiful late August day to practice plant identification. If I would have had this class I wouldn't have to pay for the app on my phone! Learning can occur anywhere and outside classrooms are great ways to engage students.

What a great night at Conger. Anadarko and Bethel came to town to battle with the Dragons. We travel this Friday to Alva for the opening game of the season. Kickoff will be at 7.
We are thrilled to announce PHS Freshman Kaden Pliler has been accepted to the National FFA Chorus as a tenor. This tremendous honor was announced today by the National FFA organization. We are very proud of this talented young man. Go Dragons!
Today was a wonderful reminder of the good that happens everyday in a school. PHS staff and students showed their respect for our custodian Marvin Fields. He is moving and today is his last day after 20 years of service. We love you Marvin and thank you for your service.
Meaningful learning experiences can happen through partnerships with our community. Ag 1 class learned about prep-checking cows today. Brent Lynn brought his ultrasound machine and taught them how to identify open and bred cows. He is a great contributor to PHS and our students.
It's FOOTBALL TIME IN PURCELL!! Tomorrow night, the Dragons will scrimmage against Anadarko and Bethel at Conger Field. Scrimmage starts at 6. Last chance to see the Dragons before opening night in Alva.
Cross Country season kicks off for your Purcell Dragons this Tuesday, August 23 at 4:30 PM. We will be racing at Purcell Intermediate school. We will have refreshments, free admission, and a Kona Ice truck there to enjoy. We would love to see you there! Go Dragons!
