Missoula Children’s Theatre is coming back to Purcell the week of March 24th-29th. This is the week right after Spring Break! The Missoula Children’s Theatre residency in Purcell is presented locally through Purcell Schools. Auditions will be held for the Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) production of “Alice in Wonderland” on Monday, March 24th at 3:30 p.m. and end by 5:30 p.m. Those auditioning should arrive at 3:30 p.m. and plan to stay for the full two hours. Some of the cast members will be asked to stay for a rehearsal immediately following the auditions. No advance preparation is necessary. Assistant directors (high school age students) will also be cast to aid in rehearsals throughout the week and to take on essential backstage responsibilities. Not all students who audition are guaranteed to be cast. Missoula Children’s Theatre touring productions are complete with costumes, scenery, and props. The MCT tour actors/directors will conduct rehearsals throughout the week each day. Students enrolled in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade are invited to audition. Students from surrounding schools may audition for a fee of $25 which is refundable if the student is not cast. For more information call Cindy Stone at Purcell Elementary School at 405-442-0099. Practice & Performance Schedules as follows: Monday 3:30-5:30 auditions and if students are cast they could have Monday practice from 5:45-7:45 at the same location.

Friday Dress Rehearsal 8:30am -12:00pm with a Friday performance from 1:00-2:00pm, and Saturday performance from 3:00-4:00pm, but cast members would need to arrive early. Parents are welcome to attend practices and rehearsals, but on performance days, will be asked to step out of the building during preparation for the show and will be allowed to re-enter when the doors for the show open, 30 minutes before show time. Parents are responsible for getting students to and from practices. Permission slips to audition will be sent home in Thursday folders before the week of Missoula. Permission slips to audition will need to be taken to auditions with the student, not turned into their school. Extra permission slips will be on hand at auditions if needed. Please reach out with any questions.

We had such a fun day celebrating 50s Valentine's Day! Thank you Dragon Families for helping us have a fun day! We hope you have a fun weekend full of love and kindness with your family!🥰💕🐲

We are wrapping up Kindness Week today with our Valentine parties! Our Little Dragons have done a great job at spreading kindness this week. Today's kindness challenge is about spreading kindness to our families and our homes by helping out around the house and cleaning something without being asked. Just because Kindness Week is ending doesn't mean our kind acts should. Please continue to encourage our students to show kindness always. Today's kindness drawing winners were Adalynn Frizell, K.K., Coleman Sheehy, Crue Tompkins, Bison Ellis, Cash Compton, Cal Culwell, Capri Ingram, Aurora Velazquez, Kobi Woody, Jahdiel Munoz, Esperanza Don, Ashley Luna, Brooks Carr, and Walker Watson. These students helped their classmates, helped their teachers, and gave out compliments to others to spread kindness around! We are so proud of you for being kind. #DragonCARES

Our Valentine's theme is centered on kindness and giving of our hearts to others. Students have been doing different activities to celebrate Kindness Week and Showing Acts of Kindness to Others, February 10th-14th. We will be ending our Kindness Week with 50's dress up and celebrating Valentine's Day on Friday, February 14th. 50's Day dress-up doesn't have to be an expensive outfit. This can be a very simple dress such as rolled-up student pant legs and shirt cuffs. A ribbon in their hair for girls or slick it back for boys with jeans and a white t-shirt is perfect! We are all looking forward to it! Feel free to join the fun and dress in your 50s attire with us! We look forward to parents or guardians coming to celebrate with their child and their classmates on Friday, February 14th. 🥰🐲

Our Little Dragons are still busy spreading kindness this week! While we are focusing on and putting a big emphasis on kindness this week, we are also teaching students the importance of always being kind and the impact it can have on others. Kindness starts with you! Since we were out yesterday, we have two kindness challenges today! The first challenge from yesterday is Love the Earth: pick up trash and be responsible with your trash to help your school and community stay beautiful! Our second kindness challenge for today is about being thankful and showing gratitude by thanking someone like a teacher, friend or classmate with kind words, a note or drawing to let them know you appreciate them. We encourage you all to join us in our kindness challenges! Our kindness drawing winners for today were Josie Wren, Gwendolyn Wyatt, Blakely Bell, Stoney Duke, Kobi Woody, Zane Shahan, Newt Folsom, Hadley Groff, and Markee Jacks. Also pictured from Tuesday's drawing is Tillie Reynolds. We are so proud of you for being kind! #DragonCARES

Sorry for the late notice on menu change. Today we had hotdogs. Friday we will have chicken nuggets. ♥️🐲

This week we are doing daily kindness challenges and kindness drawings for Kindness Week to encourage our Little Dragons and help teach them the importance of being kind. Our kindness challenge for Monday was to be helpful by helping someone in class or doing a good deed for someone. Tuesday's kindness challenge was all about self-care and showing yourself kindness by writing nice words about yourself and telling yourself all the things you love about you. It's important to not only be kind to others, but to be kind to ourselves as well. Our kindness drawing winners from Tuesday were Tillie Reynolds (not pictured), Owen Sharp, Kenley Creswell, and Bowen Nicklas. These students showed kindness by being nice and helpful to their classmates and teachers. Way to spread kindness! #DragonCARES

This week is Kindness week! We are celebrating kindness week across the district. While showing kindness is always important, students are challenged to do as many kind acts as they can this week. Students have a Kindness Bingo sheet they are working on at school along with a daily kindness challenge in morning announcements. Ask your student each day what kind acts they have done or what they can do to show kindness.

We have the first members of our Mile Club. First grade: Owen Fischer Second grade: Brynlie Moore, Thomas Montgomery, and Reef Wilkins. These students even skipped part of their game time in PE to keep running laps so they could reach 1 mile! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️Awesome job!! 👏🏆
