At Purdy Elementary, kindness is at the heart of who we are.

We are proud to foster a school culture where Choosing Kindness is a daily focus. Each year, our Kindness Team guides student-led activities and school wide events centered around giving back to others in simple, yet meaningful ways. These initiatives help students develop empathy, build strong relationships, and understand the positive impact of their actions.

Every Wednesday, our students and staff proudly wear their Kindness gear to celebrate and promote this core value. We also take time to recognize students with Leadership/Kindness Awards for being “caught” doing something kind—whether it’s offering a helping hand, including someone at recess, or simply sharing a smile.

Purdy’s commitment to creating a kind, inclusive, and respectful environment has been recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for our efforts and positive school-wide initiatives.

Have you done something kind today? At Purdy, we believe even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference.
