A Little About Mrs. Pursel

I moved to Virginia in 1999 after growing up in Stewartsville, New Jersey. I graduated from Bloomsburg University in PA in 1999 with a Master's degree in Special Education. This years marks my 11th year teaching at NGES - 7 years as a special education teacher and beginning my fourth year as a reading specialist. This year I will be working with all grade levels. My twin daughters attend 1st grade at the Primary School, and my husband is the principal at William Monroe Middle School. Some loves of mine - family, reading, baking, and the New York Yankees! If you ever in need of a book recommendation, just ask!!
