Week of August 27th

Hello Purefoy Families!




What a fantastic week of school. It has really been an incredible opening to the school year. We have so many things to be grateful for…our wonderful students, the dedicated teachers, amazing families and the weather cooperating! We actually had recess this week!



Mr. Wiley and I have been in and out of classrooms all week. The children have quickly transitioned into their new grade and are ready to work! Mrs. Koyle (4th grade) came in this morning so excited about her students writing. She quickly emailed the third grade team to thank them for preparing the students so well. I love seeing teachers excited; they seem to bounce down the hall…very fun!



I wanted to share a link to a news story in Chicago. Mrs. Arterburn had some special news to share about a foundation created by her brother, Brian, in honor of her late father. It is evident her parents have instilled into their kids a love of reading and helping children.
