! Wear green this Thursday Feb 19th to honor our dear Gretchen Price who passed on February 1, 2026 and others affected by Cholangiocarcinoma. 💚🎗️🫶🏻 Gretchen was a pivotal part of ALA Arkansas Girls State and her legacy of humble servant leadership lives on with us.

It is with a heavy heart that we share our dear Gretchen Price (pictured in the middle on the first photo) has passed away after her battle with cancer. Gretchen was a pivotal part of the ALA Arkansas Girls State family and she has made immesurable impact on the our program. We know she is no longer hurting and is watching over us all. Please join us in praying for her dear family and sisters who are apart of our Girls State Family. At our 2025 session, delegates honored Gretchen by wearing green in the second photo. 💚🎗️ Girls state girls we’ll always be, til we meet again.
