Let me take a second to introduce myself!  My name is Melissa McPherson and I have been teaching at Purple Sage Elementary since 2016.  I currently teach third grade, and prior to that I was working as an EA in general ed.  Before my time here I taught preschool at the YMCA for several years and have coached basketball, volleyball and swimming for MANY years as well.  I live in Middleton with my husband Charles and our two kids still at home.  I am SO excited and thankful for this opportunity to have your child in class this year! I am always looking for help in a variety of ways. Please contact me with any questions and concerns and if you are interested in volunteering in our class.
