The Immunization Team will be at enrollment next week. Stop by and get your child's shots during enrollment.
🎓✨ This week was nothing short of amazing! Jennifer Davis (4th grade teacher) and Stephanie Knowles (PE teacher) spent the week in Edmond diving into the Great Expectations Methodology—a powerful, research-based program designed to transform classroom culture and empower both teachers and students. GE is built on six key tenets: ✔️ High Expectations ✔️ Teacher Attitude and Responsibility ✔️ All Children Can Learn ✔️ Building Self-Esteem ✔️ Climate of Mutual Respect ✔️ Teacher Knowledge and Skill They also learned the 8 Expectations for Living and 17 classroom practices that will serve as a strong foundation as they bring GE back to their classrooms. We’re so excited to see the positive impact this training will have on our school community! 🌟 #GreatExpectations #EmpoweredEducators #LifelongLearning #AllChildrenCanLearn #PositiveClassrooms

📚 Attending the PLC (Professional Learning Communities) Conference in Tulsa has been an incredible experience! We're learning powerful strategies and gaining fresh insight into what it truly takes to improve all children’s learning. From building strong collaborative teams to focusing on results, this conference is reinforcing the importance of working together to ensure every student succeeds. We are excited to take what we've learned back to our school and continue growing alongside colleagues for the benefit of our students! #PLCConference #AllMeansAll #LifelongLearner #StudentSuccess
The next one starts tomorrow! OKC Comets Reading Challenge, presented by Energy Transfer, recently kicked off its second year and encourages students in kindergarten through 12th grade throughout Oklahoma to log at least 20 minutes of reading per day to receive Oklahoma City Baseball Club tickets, pregame field access and chances to win additional prizes. Students can participate in up to three challenges per season.

Purcell Intermediate would like to send a BIG THANK YOU to Derick Berkley for power washing the entire back pad so that we could paint today!!! We are so thankful for the support our community gives to our teachers and students!
Thank you to everyone who came out to paint the pad today! We still have some touching up to do, but it looks fantastic! We have to give a big shoutout to TSET and HSOK for providing the supplies we needed to brighten up our playground such as paint, stencils, brushes, and rollers!

Our students have been busy growing their own food—both in our outdoor garden and the tower garden in the gym!
By planting, tending, and eventually harvesting their own fruits and vegetables, students are gaining hands-on experience with where their food comes from.
This process not only teaches responsibility and patience, but also empowers them to make healthier choices and take ownership of their health. It’s amazing to see their excitement as they watch their hard work grow—literally!
