Calling all Field Day Volunteers!

Hello Purefoy Families,


What a wild week for weather! Last night, the fireplace certainly looked inviting. Is it really May and this cold?

I was in Ms. Micucci’s 3rd grade classroom today during math. The students were working with partners to solve rather involved problems. At one point, the students were asked to switch partners to develop their answers and additional ways to display their thinking. It was really cool walking around the room and listening to their discussions. Children were at various stages in the activity and were really engrossed in their conversations. I stopped a couple of children and asked them about their poster. They were so excited to share their strategies with me. Scanning the room, it was clear the children were working well together and having meaningful conversations with one another. Way to go Ms. Micucci’s class! I say it all the time…we are wonderfully fortunate to be with children and experience their excitement daily.

A few Reminders:

• We are in desperate need of helpers for Field Day, May 17th. Please contact Coach R. or PTA if you are available.

• Please don’t forget to stop by the cafeteria and check our Lost and Found. It continues to grow daily. We will be donating unclaimed items within the next few weeks.

• School Supplies are on sale through EPI. The only way to order is online and sales close May 24th. Please see the attachment for ordering information.

Ms. Rohman wanted to share some wonderful news.

Dear Purefoy Family and Friends,
