School Carnival Success!

Hello Purefoy Families,


It was wonderful seeing families at our second Purefoy Carnival last Saturday. It was a beautiful day and PTA created a fun event! Thank you to our volunteers that worked countless hours. It was a successful day! The best news is that PTA reached their goal for our playground cover! Construction will begin in June! I don’t think the teachers will call the playground “the brick oven” any longer. We will now have a wonderful shade over the entire play structure area! Thank you for supporting our drive for the cover.

Today, I stopped by Ms. Hawkins class for a moment. The students were in the middle of reader’s workshop and independent reading. They didn’t even notice that I walked in because they were so engaged in their books! Typically, in kindergarten, the minute a visitor arrives, our friendly five year olds wave and say “hello,” no matter how quietly someone sneaks in. Not today! The books had their full attention! It was such a treat to see them independently reading and monitoring their reading strategies. I do believe they are ready for first grade!

Have a wonderful weekend. Please remember we do not have school on Monday. It is a professional development day for teachers.

Sincerely,

Mary Webb
