2nd thru 5th graders walked into their new Vernon Elementary School building for the first time as students this morning, as they went through a "mock school day" at their new campus. There were plenty of smiles, along with "Oooohs" and "Aaaaws," to go around, as the students were led to their homerooms and were then shown where their other classrooms were located. Students also ate lunch in their new cafeteria before being bused back to Central and Shive for the final 2 hours of school at the old campuses. The first day of school at the new campus will be this coming Tuesday, Oct. 10
