    My name is Jared Purdy and I was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia on August 3rd, 1982. I've lived in Yarmouth my entire life and have no intentions of ever leaving. I graduated from Yarmouth Consolidated Memorial High School in 2000 and went on to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dalhousie University majoring in French.

    Upon completing my degree, I was accepted by the University of Maine at Presque Isle for their Teacher Certification Degree. I finished my degree in 2005 with a Student Teaching Placement at Yarmouth Central Elementary and have been here ever since. In the Fall of 2008, I received my Masters in Education Degree in Leadership from Mount Saint Vincent University. I currently teach grade 5/6 French Immersion and I am also the Vice Principal. Aside from my teaching and administrative duties, I am the Math Mentor within our school.

    Aside from teaching, I love playing, coaching and watching hockey and some of my other pastimes are fishing, golf and spending time with my family and friends. My family includes my father Gerry, my mother Libby, and my younger sister Ashley.
