Our Vernon Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting for our Vernon Elementary School will be held at 2 p.m., today. Unfortunately, we will not be offering tours of the school since we are in the middle of moving our Central and Shive campuses to the new campus and boxes are everywhere. We hope to have a second Open House at a later date. If you are attending the ribbon cutting, please park in the street or in the lot at the corner of Yamparika and Stadium as there is work being done on the parking lot.
We apologize for the late posting. Here is the VISD Cafeteria Menu for the month of October.

McCord Elementary held its 1st 6 Weeks Success Rally Friday morning and got a little help from the VHS Cheerleaders, Vernon Lion football players and members of the Roarin' Lion Band S.W.A.T. team. To say the youngsters were full of excitement is an understatement.
It was a fun morning for approximately 215 VMS students as they were treated to a movie at the Plaza Theater for having perfect attendance for the 1st Six Weeks. Approximately 82 6th Graders, 66 7th Graders and 67 8th Graders enjoyed the movie "Camp Hideout." The district provided the ticket for the movie, with the students purchasing their own snacks.
The VMS Success Rally for the 1st six weeks was held Thursday afternoon in the gym. Students who made the AB and A Honor Rolls for each grade received certificates, and prize drawings were held from among the students who made the honor rolls in each grade.
Good luck Lady Lions. District 7-3A battle today at Henrietta!!
