Last week, second grade completed Unit One of their RLA curriculum: "Fairy Tales and Tall Tales." In one of the tall tales, "Paul Bunyan," it told the story of Sourdough Sam cooking giant flapjacks in the world's biggest frying pan for Paul Bunyan. On Friday, Mrs. Robyn Hamm's class cooked miniature pancakes and discussed the antonyms of giant, colossal, enormous, big being small, miniature, tiny, and small.

There has been a change to the VISD 2025-26 school calendar. Due to a scheduling conflict for the Prosper football stadium, the Lions' football game scheduled for Friday, Sept. 19, in Prosper has been moved to Thursday, Sept. 18. The district had an early release scheduled for that Friday and it has now been moved to Thursday, to coincide with the game change. Friday, Sept. 19, will now be a regular, full school day.

⛳️🐾 The 3rd Annual LIONS ROAR Golf Scramble is this Saturday!
A huge THANK YOU to our sponsors — your support makes a big difference. When a community works with and supports its schools, both grow stronger together. 🦁❤️
And a big shout-out to all who signed up — our scramble is officially FULL! We’re excited for a great day of golf, fellowship, and cooler temperatures (especially after last year when Vernon made the record books as the hottest spot in the USA 🔥☀️). See ya Saturday morning for donuts, coffee and juice before we tee off at 8:30 a.m.
Go LIONS! 🦁

Vernon Community,
Vernon ISD put the finishing touches on what I would call a great convocation last week, and I led off that ceremony with the statement “there is no greater time in my career than now to be a teacher.” The world is still lacking in the respect that needs to be demonstrated to teachers and the job that they do; however, it is comforting and a step in the right direction when the Legislature determines it is time for the teachers to be awarded a raise.....

Vernon ISD is kicking off year two of our Dudes on Duty volunteer program — and we need your help to spread the word!
We’re looking for dads, husbands, grandfathers, uncles, church friends, and other positive male role models to spend time with our students during morning drop-off and lunch/recess. Just showing up, engaging with students, and offering a friendly presence can make a huge difference in creating a safe and welcoming environment.
All campuses are participating — and whether or not they have kids in our district, all men are welcome — however, they must be an APPROVED VOLUNTEER!
📝 VISD Volunteer application found here: https://bit.ly/VISDVolunteerApplication
✅ If you know of an already approved volunteer, here are the links for each campus with available dates and areas to serve:

Let’s work together to connect the men in our lives with the kids who need them most! ❤️🦁
