About Mrs. Purgatori
My name is Mrs. Purgatori and this is my ninth year of teaching. I am thrilled to be your ELA teacher for the 2019-20 school year! I am looking forward to an exciting, busy, and productive year- one full of possibility and all kinds of learning opportunities!
I was born and raised in Michigan, in a city near Grand Rapids. I attended Michigan State University, earning degrees in English and Social Sciences with a teaching endorsement at the secondary level (grades 6-12). Go Green! I loved my experience at MSU so much that I returned and completed my Master's with a focus in Educational Technology.
After graduation, I moved to Rochester to begin my teaching career here at Rochester Community Schools. There are many aspects I love about being here aside from the schools - including bike rides on Paint Creek Trail and milkshakes from Red Knapps!
I'm so excited to go on this learning journey together - let's make this a great year!
