Vance Elementary School is the GEF school we are highlighting this month. See what the mighty Panthers are up to!

Safety First! Our Panther Ambassadors—made up of our fantastic fifth graders—serve during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal, helping ensure students enter/leave campus safely and in an orderly manner.

Showing that Panther Pride! 🐾 Students and staff are encouraged to wear their Vance gear every Friday. The top four classes with the most Panther Pride win a stuffed panther to keep in their classroom for the week!

Community Helpers! 💙📚 Vance is lucky to have the best community helpers who show up every day to support our students in reading, math, and so much more. Their dedication, encouragement, and care help build not only strong academic skills, but also meaningful relationships that make our school community stronger!

Keep up the great work, Vance Elementary School!
