Each poster has a QR code that shows a website where you can listen to the poem and watch a video to participate in an exercise that corresponds with the stanza.

In honor of National Principals’ Month, Perez Elementary would like to highlight our amazing Principal - Mrs. Veronica Delgado. She works tirelessly behind the scenes to make our school a better place. Mrs. Delgado encompasses all of the IB learner profiles. She always has her students, staff, parents and community in mind. Recently, Mrs. Delgado gave up one of her weekend days to come in with her family and weed Wendy’s Garden so that our insect friends - butterflies, caterpillars, etc. - can be seen more easily by our students as they stroll through this outdoor living classroom area. Thank you, Mrs. Delgado, for all of the assistance you provide to our Perez community! We are truly blessed to have you on our campus.
