About Mrs. Purviance – the teacher
Hello, my name is Kristi Purviance. I am the math interventionist and technology teacher at Rivercrest Elementary.
I went to Bogata Elementary and Junior High, then graduated from Rivercrest High School. I then attended Paris Junior College and graduated from East Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.
I began my teaching career at Clarksville Elementary as a second grade special education teacher. The next year, I got to come “home” to Bogata Elementary as a fourth grade teacher. I taught fourth grade for 13 years at Bogata/Rivercrest Elementary. Last year, I was looking for a change. I wanted a new challenge. Thanks to my administrators and the school board, I got the opportunity to try something new. I am now the math interventionist and the elementary technology teacher. I love my new job. I get to work with students from kindergarten through fifth grades. I also get to teach two of my favorite subjects — math and technology.
