Parents & Dragon Fans-
We can't wait to see you at the football game Friday night! However, due to CDC guidelines, we are requiring students to stay seated with parents or family members and will not be allowed to run around unattended at the game.
Our goal is to be able to stay in school and to be able to continue to host sporting events. Working together we hope to be able to continue to host sporting events with guests attending as well as ensure the safety of all.
Thank you for helping us make this sports season safe! #GoDragons!

Purcell Intermediate would like to send a big THANK YOU to the Winters Family for donating a basketball to every classroom teacher! Each class has their own recess this year.

The first day of school 2020 is in the books and was a wonderful success!

Today, we are playing another one of our favorite games in PE! This one is called Avengers End Game! Students are trying to collect all the infinity stones to play Thanos (Me) for the last stone (mind Stone). To collect stones, they battle other teams playing Rock Paper Scissors. The winner takes the stone back to their universe! Our focus is communication, hustle, cooperation, and teamwork! #dragonpride #ignite #avengers #perocks

In PE, we played a game called Sink the Ship! The students were on 4 different teams/ships, and their goal was to work together to knock down the other shipsā cones. The cones were what kept their ships afloat. If all of a shipās cones were knocked down, they would sink to the bottom of the ocean and have to do 10 reps of an exercise (lunges, push-ups, crunches, calf raises, squats, mountain climbers) to get back into the game. There were blockers, cannonball retrievers on lifeboats, and cannonball launchers! This is one of our faves! #teamwork #cooperation#perocks
