Dear Friends,
We are a third grade class with 19 students. The name of our school is Vance Elementary. There are about 500 students in our school. We have grades Pre-K through 5th. Our school mascot is a panther. We will be a year-round school next year. Our school is in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Raleigh was founded in 1792. It was named for Sir Walter Raleigh. He tried to start the first English Colony in the New World in the 1580s. We have a state fair every year. Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina.
