Vernon Elementary School

Last Friday, "Decades Day" was the theme for our Lion Spirit Pep Rally, and several of our teachers and staff enjoyed wearing some groovy threads. Check out these pics from VES and VHS.

Here is VISD Social Worker Nicole Cameron's newsletter for October.

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!!

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is October 1st, but that's definitely the case. Here's our Cafeteria Menu for the month.

Receiving our Student of the Week honors for last week are: 2nd Grade -- Sophia Edmonds; 3rd Grade -- Anthony Balderas; 4th Grade -- Marcial Villeda; and 5th Grade -- Josiphen Phillips. Congratulations!! Keep up the good work!

Through the first six weeks of the school year, our student attendance has been great. We appreciate the parents for their support in having their children in the classroom.

Our Lions travel to Ponder this Friday night for a District 4-3A, D 1 battle against the Ponder Lions. Here is the link to purchase tickets: https://events.hometownticketing.com/boxoffice/ponderisd/entity/schools/2

VISD will not hold classes Tuesday, Sept. 30. It is a scheduled Parent/Teacher Conference Day.

Remember it is mini cheerleader night for those youngsters in kindergarten thru 5th grade who signed up for the clinic. Please be at the stadium by 6:45 tonight and gather with the cheerleaders on the east end of the track.

Vernon ISD is mailing student report cards for the 1st six weeks, and the mailing will include information the district is required to share with parents. Report cards will go in the mail today. Parents can currently view grades on Skyward.

Our Elementary Night at the Lions' football game that was originally scheduled for this Friday, Sept. 26, has been rescheduled for Friday, Oct. 31. Our students will perform a dance routine at halftime of the game.
