Annie Purl Elementary

🌟 Our amazing Guiding Coalition is hard at work! For three days this week, this dedicated team is intentionally planning for next year, strengthening systems, and ensuring Purl is set up for success. We are so proud of their commitment, collaboration, and leadership as they do the important work that helps our students and staff thrive! 💙

🎉 Big congratulations to our amazing partners at Uplift Wilco! 🎉
Today, it was an absolute honor to represent the Annie Purl Elementary community at the grand opening of their brand-new thrift store! 🛍️✨
Uplift Wilco does so much heavy lifting for our school. They aren’t just supporters; they are our dedicated reading buddies, our #1 volunteers on Title I nights, and incredible mentors to our students. They show up for Purl in countless ways, and we are so thrilled to show up and celebrate them today!
Make sure to go check out the new shop and support an organization that pours so much love back into our community. Cheers to this exciting new chapter, Uplift Wilco!

Home of the free, because of the brave. Today and every day, we remember, honor, and give thanks to the heroes who gave everything for our country. 🇺🇸❤️
