Vernon Price Elementary

Please join us in celebrating Mrs. Greeno as she retires after 9 years at Price Elementary!

For years, Mrs. Green has been the heart of our library — connecting students to stories, nurturing a love of reading, and supporting our staff with kindness and expertise. The impact made through those countless books and moments will last for years to come.

Wishing you endless chapters of joy, relaxation, and adventure in your well-earned retirement. Congratulations!

☀️ Reminder: Thursday, May 28, is the last day of school and an early release day for all campuses! As we wrap up another great school year, please make plans for students to be picked up at their early release time.

Mrs. Taylor, our ESL teacher, is retiring this year after 20 years at Price. Her dedication, compassion, and hard work have made a lasting impact on countless students and families throughout the Price community.

Mrs. Taylor’s commitment to helping and supporting others will be greatly missed. We are so grateful for everything she has done over the years.

Thank you, Mrs. Taylor, for your years of service and dedication. We wish you all the best as you begin this exciting new chapter!

The 2026 Panther Pride Talent Show was a huge success this past Tuesday! We traveled around the world with a multi-cultural theme with our performances. All of the performers were outstanding and our student body was a fantastic audience!! We are looking forward to making this an annual event!

Happy National Principal Day to our incredible principal, Gabriel Luna!

His leadership, positivity, and dedication have made such a meaningful impact on our school community in such a short time. He leads with heart, supports the staff, and always keep students at the center of everything he does. We are so grateful for his vision and the energy he brings each and every day.

To show our appreciation (and have a little fun along the way!), teachers celebrated by dressing up like Mr. Luna —proving just how much he has inspired us all! 😊

We want to thank him for an amazing first year. We’re lucky to have him leading the way!

We celebrated the end of the testing season with a school wide egg drop competition. As many of you know, students this week brought in recycled materials from home to use on their containers. Each class divided into groups that made a container and then competed to see which egg container would represent their class in the school wide contest. In class teachers were given a plastic egg filled with pebbles to test the containers for the best one.

Yesterday afternoon we took the containers outside to drop them off the gym roof this time with a real egg inside. We had lots of creative and great entries! After three rounds of dropping eggs off the roof, the 1st grade container from Ms. Delgado’s class and 5th grade container from Ms. Henley’s class tied as Grand Champions!

Looking forward to this becoming an annual competition!
