Hello! My name is Jordan Davis, and I am so excited to be your child's Kindergarten teacher. This is my 4th year teaching here at Purefoy Elementary and couldn't be happier to be a part of the Purefoy Family. During my time at Purefoy, I have taught Kindergarten, a sprinkle of 1st Grade, and 3rd Grade virtually. Kindergarten has been my absolute favorite grade to teach. A little bit about me, I am originally from a small town in Illinois but have called Texas home for the past 20 years. I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with my EC-6 education certification as well as my ESL certification. When I am not at school, I love to spend time with my family and friends. Although I do not have any kiddos of my own, I do have a sweet fur baby named Cooper. I am also a lover of baking, cooking, and traveling. This year is going to be full of some new adventures for our kindergartners and I can't wait to meet their smiling faces!

Hello, Kindergarten Families! My name is Katie Benson, and I am so excited to be teaching Kindergarten again this year! This will be my 11th year teaching and 8th year at Purefoy. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner!) in 2011. Before moving to TX, I taught for three years in Edmond, Oklahoma. My son, Beau, will be in 2nd grade, and my niece, Emma, will be in 5th grade this year! I love getting to be at Purefoy with both of them. In my spare time, you can normally find me at some kind of sporting event for the kiddos. We love sports, and I love watching Beau and Emma do what they love! I also love to come out and watch my students as well! I absolutely love Kindergarten, and I am so looking forward to this new adventure with your sweet kiddos. I truly can't wait to meet all of you.
