Today we celebrated National Custodian Day by giving a gift and card to each of our VES custodians. Our PTO also gave the custodians a little gift and a card. We just wanted them to know how much we appreciate them and all the hard work they do at VES.
Today, Oct. 2, is National Custodian Day and we want to give a big shout out to all the members of our Vernon ISD custodial staff!! They are some of the behind-the-scene, unsung heroes who keep our district running!! We couldn't do it without them!! Thank you to each and everyone of custodians for all you do! You are greatly appreciated!!
Our Vernon homecoming is next Friday, Oct. 10, and we start pumping up that Lion spirit Monday and continue to build it all week with "Dress Up" themes for each day. Get your costumes ready for each day and show that Lion spirit!!!
Tomorrow is an Early Release Friday. We hope our students enjoy getting an early start to their weekend!!

A huge THANK YOU to the VES PTO for going above and beyond to show our teachers and staff how much they are appreciated!! Today's teacher cart was such a treat -- featuring a mini pancake bar with all the toppings.

Our 2nd graders have been studying the Ancient Greek Civilization and today they participated in an Ancient Greek Olympic games to tie into their studies. The games included the javelin throw, the discus throw, and a "mini" marathon. Measuring the 26 meters for the " mini" marathon also ties into their math unit on measurements
